Abstract: OUR nations energy crunch, which daily seems headed towards a crisis of considerable proportion, has resulted in solution- seeking on several fronts. Among these is the large-scale importation for base load needs of liquefied natural gas, a concept which has been hailed by the Federal Power Commission as being as portentous for the natural gas industry as was the development of long-distance, high-pressure pipeline technology. My company. El Paso Natural Gas Company, was the first to announce it was planning such a large-scale project. Our initial announcement climaxed almost a decade of negotiations with Algeria concerning the possibilities of moving natural gas from that country to the United States. As long as domestic supplies were ample, there was little demand for such a project nor did it seem economically feasible. Bui, by the late 1960s, evidence was clear that the United States was headed toward an energy shortage, particularly in natural gas, a premium fuel in these days of increasing environmental concern. Thus the stage was set for a project of the magnitude we envisioned.
