Woodside Energy broke ground on Louisiana’s $17.5 billion liquefied natural gas project in Sulphur, marking the largest foreign investment in the state’s history.
The massive project, located near Lake Charles in Calcasieu Parish, is expected to bring billions in economic impact to the Gulf Coast and create thousands of jobs, with the facility permitted for a total capacity of 27.6 million tons per annum.
