Pipeline Project
Woodside Louisiana LNG (LALNG) is an under-construction, pre-final investment decision (FID), LNG production and export terminal in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. It is a high-quality, scalable development opportunity, with a total permitted capacity of 27.6 million tonnes per annum.
In addition to the Louisiana LNG project, two interstate pipelines are proposed to deliver natural gas to the LNG project. Both pipelines would be operated by Driftwood Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Woodside Energy.
Driftwood Mainline Pipeline
- Location: Evangeline, Acadia, Jefferson Davis and Calcasieu parishes in Louisiana
- Capacity: Average of 4 bcf/d of natural gas annually
- Size: 96 miles/155 km
Line 200 and Line 300 Pipeline
- Location: Ragley in Beauregard Parish to Carlyss in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana
- Capacity: 4.6 Bcf/d of flowing gas with maximum seasonal capacity of 5.7 Bcf/d
- Size: Dual 42-inch pipelines comprised of Line 200 (approximately 36.9 miles in length), and Line 300 (approximately 33.9-miles in length)
Pipeline Safety
At Woodside Energy, we are committed to the safety and wellbeing of our people, the communities where we operate and the environment.
The associated pipeline projects will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Overall, the pipelines will meet or exceed state and federal safety requirements and at a minimum will be designed in accordance with PHMSA’s 49 CFR Part 192 design and operating requirements.
Mainline Pipeline
The proposed Driftwood Mainline Pipeline project is anticipated to deliver an average of 4 bcf/d of natural gas annually to the facility. The 96-mile pipeline will follow an approved route through Evangeline, Acadia, Jefferson Davis and Calcasieu parishes.
The pipeline is expected to include the following:
- 74 miles/119 km of single 48-inch diameter pipeline
- 11 miles/18 km of single 42-inch diameter pipeline
- 11 miles/18 km of single 36-inch diameter pipeline
- 3.5 miles/6 km of 30-inch diameter pipeline lateral
- 3 compressor stations
- 13 interconnects
Construction of the Mainline has not yet commenced.
Project Status & Timeline
The Mainline Pipeline received Federal Energy Regulatory Commision (FERC) authorization in April 2019. Publicly available documentation for the project can be accessed through the FERC eLibrary. Reference FERC Docket Nos. CP17-117 and CP17-118 when searching for relevant files.

Key stats
Line 200 and Line 300
The proposed Line 200 and Line 300 pipeline project is estimated to cost approximately $1.3 billion at full-build out (subject to reforecasting).
The proposed Line 200 and Line 300 will provide potential shippers enhanced access opportunities to domestically sourced gas directly via regional infrastructure located near Texas Eastern and Transco Pipeline mainline compressor stations. This interconnectivity is expected to provide provide enhanced supply reliability to meet the current and projected growth of the industrial, petrochemical, manufacturing and LNG plants located in or around Lake Charles.
