休斯顿4月10日路透电 — 根据一份监管备案文件，美国联邦监管机构周五批准了NextDecade公司（股票代码：NEXT.O）增加其得克萨斯州里奥格兰德液化天然气项目峰值建筑用工人数的申请。
NextDecade曾告知监管机构，全球地缘政治紧张局势推高了美国液化天然气的需求，促使开发商加快推进新供应上线的速度。

作为全球第二大液化天然气生产国，卡塔尔能源公司因伊朗局势冲突无法出口超低温液化天然气，其工厂也遭受损毁，可能导致全球供应在长达五年内减少1250万吨。

在上周五的另一份备案文件中，NextDecade向联邦能源监管委员会申请将其峰值建筑用工人数从此前获批的5225人增加2275人，达到7500人，以加快这座液化天然气出口终端的建设进度。
联邦监管机构必须批准液化天然气建筑工地的用工人数上调申请，以确保开发商遵守预先获批的环境条款，包括对所在社区的影响评估。
该公司表示，在厂区额外建设两套液化生产线的决定推高了用工需求，同时也需要获批夜间和周末进行施工作业。

备案文件显示，联邦能源监管委员会同时批准了增加建筑用工和全天候施工的申请。
NextDecade正在里奥格兰德液化天然气项目建设五套液化生产线，总年产能约为3000万吨。

FERC approves NextDecade’s request for more workers and longer hours at Texas site
April 10, 2026 4:23 PM UTC / Reuters
HOUSTON, April 10 (Reuters) – U.S. federal regulators on Friday approved a request by NextDecade (NEXT.O) to increase the peak number of construction workers at its Rio Grande LNG project in Texas, according to a regulatory filing.
NextDecade told regulators that global geopolitical tensions had heightened demand for U.S. LNG, prompting developers to move quickly to bring new supply online.

The Iran war has led to global LNG supply challenges as the world’s second-largest producer, QatarEnergy, has not been able to export the superchilled gas and has suffered damage to its plant, potentially taking 12.5 million metric tons out of global supplies for up to five years.

In a separate filing dated last Friday, NextDecade asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to raise its peak construction workforce by 2,275 workers to 7,500, up from the previously authorized 5,225, as it moves to accelerate construction of the liquefied natural gas export terminal.
Federal regulators are required to approve increases in manpower at LNG construction sites to ensure the developers keep within the preapproved environmental conditions including the impact on the host communities.
The company said the decision to build two additional liquefaction trains at the site increased manpower needs and required approval for construction work to take place at night and on weekends.

FERC approved both the increase in construction workers and requests for round-the-clock construction, the filing showed.
NextDecade is building five liquefaction trains at Rio Grande LNG with a combined capacity of about 30 million metric tons per annum.
