In early 2002, members of our team began investigating possible onshore LNG receiving terminal sites in the Pacific Northwest. By December 2004, we had chosen Bradwood Landing, a remote location on the banks of the Columbia River in northwest Oregon, approximately 30 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.

Bradwood Landing will include a single berth to accommodate the one to two ships arriving each week, two storage tanks (with permitting for a third should the market demand it), and a re-gasification building to convert the liquefied natural gas back into natural gas. Bradwood Landing's storage tanks will be "full containment," meaning doubled-walled. The tank-within-a-tank design has an inner nickel-steel tank surrounded by a reinforced concrete secondary tank wall up to two-feet thick. Of the 450-acre site, 50 acres are zoned for Marine Industry. With a direct pipeline to the region's largest storage field, the project has been gaining much local support.

Bradwood's location offers prospective natural gas suppliers convenient access to the region's major interstate pipelines serving markets across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California. Construction is set for 2007, with commercial operations beginning in 2010.
