Public comment begins on already repaired Delfin pipeline

(The Center Square) - Louisiana regulators Tuesday launched a 25-day public comment period to retroactively authorize repairs on the severely damaged Delfin Offshore Pipeline, which underwent an emergency replacement of a 105-foot section in Cameron Parish after a violent blowout in February. The Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy’s Office of Permitting and Compliance published a formal notice on a Coastal Use Permit application submitted by Delfin seeking retroactive "After the Fact" authorization for extensive repairs the company made to the natural gas pipeline. Houston-based Delfin has completed work on the damaged section of the 42-inch-diameter pipeline. The explosion left a 50-foot-by-80-foot blast crater, a severely burned contractor and a gas leak that released an estimated 56 million cubic feet of natural gas. The Sierra Club and Louisiana environmental and fishing rights group For a Better Bayou protested federal regulatory approvals of the Delfin liquefied natural gas project in March 2025, arguing that fast-tracked permitting of the retrofitted, nearly 50-year-old pipeline created severe safety risks. The pipeline had been idle since 2012, and the blowout occurred while crews were conducting routine cleaning and structural testing before Delfin begins operations at the company's LNG export terminal now under construction in offshore
