Maritime Energy Briefing: LNG Infrastructure Expands in Louisiana as Offshore Survey Firm Marks Growth Milestone

## Maritime Energy Briefing: LNG Infrastructure Expands in Louisiana as Offshore Survey Firm Marks Growth Milestone ### Pelican Pipeline Extends Reach to Commonwealth LNG Export Terminal WhiteWater has announced the expansion of its Pelican Pipeline system in Louisiana with the addition of the Pelican Thrasher Lateral, a greenfield pipeline project designed to deliver natural gas to Commonwealth LNG's liquefaction and export facility in Cameron, Louisiana, according to a company statement released on 28 May 2026. The project represents a significant infrastructure development for the US Gulf Coast LNG export corridor, reinforcing Cameron Parish's position as a key hub for liquefied natural gas exports. The Pelican Thrasher Lateral will provide dedicated gas supply connectivity to Commonwealth LNG's facility, supporting the broader buildout of US LNG export capacity at a time of sustained global demand for American gas supplies. The expansion underscores continued private investment in midstream infrastructure serving the Gulf Coast LNG sector, with developers seeking to lock in long-term supply chain certainty for export terminals moving through commissioning and early operations phases. ### Oceanscan Opens New Facility After 'Standout Year of Growth' In the offshore services sector, Oceanscan Group — a UK-based marine survey and geophysical services company operating within the Venterra Group — has opened a new facility following what the company describes as a 'standout year of growth,' according to Offshore Energy. The facility opening reflects strengthening demand for offshore survey and geophysical services, driven by accelerating activity across both the renewable energy and oil and gas sectors. Venterra Group, which encompasses a portfolio of specialist offshore service businesses, has positioned Oceanscan as a key growth asset as the offshore wind and subsea infrastructure markets continue to expand across European and international waters. The new facility is expected to enhance Oceanscan's operational capacity and support its ability to deliver survey services across an expanding project pipeline. ### Enbridge Marks 25 Years of Sustainability Reporting Canadian energy infrastructure giant Enbridge Inc.
