US LNG exporter Venture Global LNG has received approval from the US FERC to commission the liquefaction train system block 17 with nitrogen at its Plaquemines plant in Louisiana.

According to a filing, the regulator approved the commissioning of the block with nitrogen on September 29.

The full project, including the first and the second stage, features 36 modular units, configured in 18 blocks. Each train has a capacity of 0.626 mtpa.

Venture Global is not commissioning these blocks in the numbered order.

However, it appears that the 17th block is the last to be commissioned.

Venture Global recently received approval to introduce natural gas to the fifteenth liquefaction block.

Before this, Venture Global received approval from FERC to introduce natural gas to the 18th and final liquefaction block.

Earlier this year, Venture Global also received approval from FERC to boost the capacity of its Plaquemines LNG terminal to 27.2 mtpa.

In addition, Venture Global LNG is seeking an extension of time from FERC to put into service its Plaquemines LNG terminal.

Plaquemines LNG requests an extension of time until December 31, 2027.
