Shell is among energy companies that have filed arbitration cases against Venture Global LNG over its failure to supply fuel under long-term contracts, even as it has shipped at least 200 cargoes to non-contract customers.
"Reliability of supply has become a key issue recently among non-free trade countries purchasing U.S. LNG and Shell very much values Energy Transfer's credibility to deliver on what it promises," said Jill Davies, president of Shell North America LNG company, in the letter seen by Reuters.
In August, Energy Transfer requested a new and expedited export license for its proposed Lake Charles, Louisiana, LNG plant, according to a DOE filing.
