PORT FOURCHON, LA, UNITED STATES, December 9, 2024 — State Representative Dr. Joseph A. Orgeron, District 54, reflected on Port Fourchon’s remarkable growth and its critical role in supporting offshore energy infrastructure as the Argent LNG project gains momentum. Dr. Orgeron’s deep-rooted connection to the offshore industry underscores the importance of this new venture for the region’s economy and the nation’s energy independence.
Dr. Orgeron stated, “Having grown up in the offshore infrastructure support business, I watched Port Fourchon go from a shell road to the large facility it is today, supporting practically 100% of all Gulf of Mexico offshore deepwater hydrocarbon production. The port is a huge economic generator for our community, our state, and fuels our nation.”
The Argent LNG project is set to further enhance Port Fourchon’s capabilities by transforming it into a key hub for the global LNG export market, in addition to its longstanding role in offshore hydrocarbon production.
Jonathan Bass, a representative of Argent LNG, also emphasized the port’s strategic importance, stating: “Port Fourchon has always been at the heart of offshore energy in the Gulf of Mexico. With the development of the Argent LNG project, we are taking the next step to ensure that this port continues to be a global leader, not just in oil and gas, but also in liquefied natural gas exports. This project will open new avenues for energy production and export, ensuring long-term economic benefits for the region.”
As the project progresses, it promises to create jobs, stimulate local economic growth, and fortify Louisiana’s role in the global energy landscape.
