US player Tellurian is considering plans for a $7 billion pipeline network to link its proposed liquefied natural gas export facility in Louisiana with two major US shale plays, writes Caroline Evans.

The Houston-based LNG developer said this week it is planning to develop the Tellurian natural pipeline network, which would include a pipeline running 625 miles (1000 kilometres) from the Permian basin of Texas and New Mexico and a 200-mile pipeline from the Haynesville shale, which stretches across the Texas-Louisiana border.
