Cheniere Energy Partners announced Thursday that it has entered into an agreement with Bechtel Energy to handle engineering, procurement and construction work for the initial phase of expanding its Sabine Pass LNG facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.<\/p>

Key project details include:<\/p>

\u2022 The existing Sabine Pass LNG facility currently operates natural gas liquefaction equipment capable of producing more than 30 million tonnes annually of LNG.<\/p>

\u2022 This facility enables the United States to ship its plentiful shale gas resources from the Permian and Haynesville regions overseas, strengthening America’s trade position while offering allied nations an option beyond Russian or Middle Eastern gas supplies.<\/p>

\u2022 The initial development phase will add Train 7, along with a boil-off gas re-liquefaction system and supporting infrastructure connected to the current Sabine Pass LNG facility.<\/p>

\u2022 Cheniere anticipates making a final investment decision for the first phase sometime in early 2027.<\/p>

\u2022 The company has also provided Bechtel with a limited notice to proceed, enabling preliminary engineering and procurement activities to get underway.<\/p>

\u2022 The first phase is projected to have a total production capacity exceeding 6 mtpa of LNG.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
