(Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) said it will tie up with Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI.N) to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a terminal near Savannah, Georgia.
El Paso Pipeline Partners LP (EPB.N), a Kinder Morgan unit, and Shell will form a limited liability company to develop a natural gas liquefaction plant at Southern LNG Co LLC’s existing terminal.
Recent drilling innovations have unlocked vast shale oil and gas reserves, placing the United States in a position to be a major exporter. A number of companies
, including Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), have lined up to get permission to sell the country’s cheap abundant natural gas overseas, where it can fetch much higher prices.
The Energy Department’s authorization is needed to export natural gas to all but a handful of countries with free trade agreements.
The Elba Island LNG Terminal near Savannah received U.S. Department of Energy approval in June to export up to 4 million tons per year (mtpa) of LNG to countries that have free trade agreements with the United States.
“This announcement underscores how the abundance of natural gas in the United States is changing the energy landscape,” Shell President Marvin Odum said in a statement.
The project, once completed, is expected to have a liquefaction capacity of about 2.5 mtpa of LNG or 350 million cubic feet of gas per day.
El Paso Pipeline, through its affiliates, will own 51 percent of the entity and operate the facility, while Shell will own the rest.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
