Charif Souki, the founder and ousted ex-ceo of Cheniere Energy, is making an LNG comeback. He has teamed up with former BG Group executive, Martin Houston to form Tellurian Investments, aimed at providing natural gas liquefaction and export projects along the US Gulf Coast.
The company’s first plant – costing up to $8bn – looks set to be based near the Calcasieu River in Louisiana, Souki told Bloomberg in an interview this week.
Souki lost his job at Cheniere in December and has wasted little time plotting his comeback.
