Cameron LNG Begins Commercial Operations For Train 1 

Sempra LNG announced today that Cameron LNG's first train of the liquefaction-export project in Hackberry, Louisiana has started commercial operations under Cameron LNG's tolling agreements.

Train 1 is part of Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG liquefaction-export project which includes a projected export capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG.

"This is an exciting moment for Cameron LNG and for Sempra Energy," said Carlos Ruiz Sacristan, chairman and CEO of Sempra North American Infrastructure. "Cameron LNG is exporting liquefied natural gas to customers in the largest world markets, helping to support economic growth in the U.S. and abroad."

In a statement Sempra Energy said their share of full-year run-rate earnings from the first three trains at Cameron LNG are projected to be between $400 million and $450 million annually when all three trains achieve commercial operations under Cameron LNG's tolling agreements.

Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK). Sempra Energy indirectly owns 50.2% of Cameron LNG.
