Jordan Cove Energy Project, Proposed energy export terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon, US.
The Jordan Cove Energy Project is a proposed industrial terminal on the coast of Coos Bay, Oregon. The facility was designed to store and prepare liquefied natural gas for export to overseas markets.
The project started as an import terminal but was redesigned as an export facility after 2007 when domestic shale gas production surged in the United States. This shift reflected the country's changing energy landscape.
Multiple Native American tribes expressed concerns about the terminal's impact on ancestral lands and traditional fishing grounds along the Oregon coast.
The project required construction of a 229-mile (369-kilometer) pipeline crossing multiple waterways to connect coastal facilities with inland gas networks. Visitors exploring the area should note this was a proposed facility that was not built.
