CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Cheniere Energy, Inc. has reached substantial completion of its Corpus Christi Liquefaction (CCL) Stage 3 Project. On Aug. 28, EPC contractor Bechtel Energy formally turned over control of the seventh and final train of the expansion project.
The expansion increases Cheniere’s overall U.S. Gulf Coast LNG production capacity by more than 20 percent, bringing it to approximately 56 million tonnes per year. Concurrently, the company celebrated the production and export of its 5,000th LNG cargo, which departed the Sabine Pass facility on Aug. 29 en route to the Asia Pacific market.
