Currently, the US energy company Aethon Energy Management holds major interests and is responsible for managing these assets. The investment company RedBird Capital Partners and Canada's Ontario Teachers Pension Fund also hold certain interests. The project is located in the Haynesville shale area at the junction of Louisiana and Texas in the United States. It is one of the largest gas production projects in the US. The gas produced is transported to coastal terminals via 2,250 km of pipelines, and then transported overseas by liquefied natural gas carriers.
