“Port Fourchon exists to put reliable American supply behind allies who need it — not as a one-off cargo, but as the kind of long-term infrastructure relationship that actually changes a country’s strategic position,” said Argent LNG chief executive Jonathan Bass.
The companies said they also plan to explore possible cooperation with US government financing institutions and European energy-security partners, consistent with US and allied energy policy objectives.
The non-binding agreement comes as Ukraine and other European countries seek alternatives to single-source and single-route gas supplies.
Earlier this year, Argent applied to the US Department of Energy for permission to export LNG to countries with and without free trade agreements with the US.
