Cheniere Energy, Inc. is an international energy company headquartered in Houston, Texas, and the leading producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the United States. We provide clean, secure and flexible energy to the world, while responsibly delivering a reliable, competitive and integrated source of LNG, in a safe and rewarding work environment. Cheniere’s operations, construction and development also support energy and economic development across the United States. Cheniere is the second largest LNG operator in the world.
In 2016, Cheniere became the first company to ship LNG from a commercial facility in the contiguous United States. Since startup, more than 1800 cumulative cargoes of LNG originating from Cheniere have been delivered worldwide.
Cheniere is operating two LNG facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Cheniere’s Sabine Pass liquefaction project (SPL Project), located in Cameron Parish in southwest Louisiana, currently has five fully operational liquefaction units, or “trains” as they are known in the LNG industry. A sixth train at SPL is estimated to reach substantial completion in Q1 2022. When all six trains are complete, the aggregate nominal production capacity of the SPL Project is expected to be ~ 30 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG.
Cheniere’s Corpus Christi liquefaction facility in South Texas is the first greenfield LNG export facility in the U.S. lower 48 and began operations in 2018. All three trains are now fully operational. The aggregate nominal production capacity of the CCL Project is ~15 mtpa of LNG. Cheniere is also commercializing its Stage 3 expansion project, which proposes up to seven “midscale” trains that would add ~10 mtpa of additional aggregate production capacity, bringing CCL’s total nominal capacity to ~25 mtpa.
