Small-scale, modular LNG export terminal at the Port of Catoosa.
American natural gas — liquified, loaded, and shipped global.
Oklahoma gas moves by barge down the McLellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System to the Mississippi, south to the Gulf of Mexico, and is then loaded onto vessels serving Caribbean island nations and Central American power, industrial, and bunkering buyers.
The Seaway/Anadarko pipeline direct tap is off the table — at ~92% utilization with no expansion capacity, it cannot deliver the headroom required for a 0.5–2 MTPA export case. The two viable paths are (a) Cushing hub aggregation and (b) Mounds direct connect.
Cushing hub aggregation is the lower-capex base case — $1–3M of buildout cost against a 6–12 month schedule. The hub’s existing interconnect gives multiple-supply optionality and absorbs baseline volume; further detail on volume headroom, counterparty mix, and 0.5–2 MTPA scalability is captured in the Pipeline Route Survey Report.
Mounds direct connect is positioned as the faster pilot — a shorter path to first gas and a cleaner counterparty profile for buyers who want a near-term offtake story. Headroom-volume and 0.5–2 MTPA scalability entries are tracked in the Pipeline Route Survey Report and updated as engineering progresses.

Catoosa prices to Henry Hub, the U.S. benchmark. Competing terminals on Brent- or JKM-linked indices carry a structural premium that small Caribbean and Central American buyers cannot absorb, locking them out of otherwise viable supply deals.

No permanent LNG infrastructure exists for Caribbean island nations, Central American industrial users, or bunkering — a market Catoosa's barge-loaded modular trains are built to serve.
Sources: Galileo #1835394 — Titan #1771023Catoosa stacks pipeline interconnect (ONEOK / Kinder Morgan / Tallgrass) + modular liquefaction + barge loading + tier-one Marine warranty survey + Caribbean and Central American delivery contracts into a single vertically integrated offer. Galileo and Titan operate third-party-owned facilities with no inland feed-gas anchor — customers must assemble the stack themselves.
Sources: Galileo #1851139 — Titan #1786981The competitive set falls into two camps — mega-terminal developers anchored to base-load, and downstream offtake owners anchored to generation. Catoosa sits in an uncontested lane: producer-to-export modular scale, right-sized for the islands each competitor under-serves.

The McLellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System connects the Port of Catoosa to the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico — carrying 13 million tons of cargo annually.
2,000-acre industrial park with multimodal transport — barge, Class I rail, and interstate highway. Existing utilities, zoned land, and a 200-ton overhead crane on site.
Linde Engineering's 128,000 sq ft fabrication shop at Port of Catoosa already builds LNG equipment. Catoosa Energy can tap local supply chains for faster, lower-cost construction.
The farthest inland seaport in the United States. Ocean-going barges reach it directly via 445 miles of improved waterway. Linde Process Plants has operated there for decades building LNG equipment. The infrastructure already exists.
Building on the Phase 1 site assessment, Phase 2 advances two critical workstreams simultaneously. The Port Authority track secures land rights and development agreements. The Pipeline track establishes the gas supply infrastructure. Both must complete before FEED engineering can begin.
The Port Authority and Pipeline tracks (Months 1–9) must run simultaneously with DOE NOTA preparation (filed Month 1–3). NOTA is the rate-limiting item on the full project timeline (18–30 months to authorization). Track A and B do not gate NOTA — but lease execution and interconnect agreement are prerequisites for FEED engineering commencement after NOTA is granted. Design the FEED scope to be ready to activate the moment NOTA comes in.
Oklahoma's prolific gas production feeds the facility via existing intrastate and interstate pipeline infrastructure. Feed gas is metered, tested, and conditioned at the plant inlet.
Single mixed refrigerant (SMR) process in modular, skid-mounted trains. Each train produces 100-1,650 tonnes per day of LNG. Phased installation allows capacity to scale with demand.
LNG stored in double-walled vacuum-insulated tanks at -162°C. Multiple tanks provide operational flexibility and buffering for continuous loading operations.
LNG loaded onto ISO tanks and ocean-going barges via the Port's roll-on/roll-off dock. Barges transit the Arkansas River to Gulf transshipment points for delivery to global markets.
U.S. LNG export capacity is growing from 11.4 Bcf/d today to 28.7 Bcf/d by 2028. But the mega-terminals on the Gulf Coast serve the same buyers they always have. Catoosa Energy targets the gap — small-scale, modular, flexible — to reach markets the giants don't bother with.
Linde Engineering's Port of Catoosa fabrication facility spans 128,000 sq ft and has built LNG equipment for projects worldwide. Their StarLNG standardized small-scale plant concept (100-1,650 tpd per train) aligns perfectly with Catoosa Energy's Phase 1 scope.
America is the world's largest LNG exporter — but Oklahoma, with its abundant gas and ideal location, has never had a seat at the table. Catoosa Energy changes that. We build the infrastructure to move Oklahoma's energy wealth to the world.
The world needs clean, affordable energy. America produces more natural gas than any country on earth. Oklahoma sits in the heart of it. The Port of Catoosa is ready. The technology is proven. The market is growing.
Catoosa Energy is the infrastructure that connects Oklahoma's abundance to the world's demand.
