Cheniere Energy 1000th LNG Cargo Milestone
info • Jan 28, 2020
Cheniere announced yesterday it has produced and exported its 1000th cargo of LNG. The 1000th cargo was exported within a four-year time period after startup. Cheniere stated this is an industry record making the company the fastest producer in the world to reach this milestone. Cheniere has produced the 1,000 cargoes from both the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project and the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project.
Cheniere’s 1000th cargo departed on the vessel Hoegh Galleon on January 26, 2020 from Cheniere’s Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project. Cheniere also celebrated the 100th cargo produced at the CCL Project, which departed on the vessel Yari LNG on January 13, 2020.
“Reaching 1,000 cargoes of LNG faster than any producer in history is a testament to the performance of our people and the culture of our company. Our focus on reliability and safety through the entire LNG production process enabled us to reach this milestone, while fulfilling our commitments to our foundation customers,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and CEO.
The Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project consists of six natural gas liquefaction trains, five of which are fully operational, and one is under construction. The Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project located in south Texas, consists of three trains, two of which are fully operational and one is under construction and expected to be operational in 2021. Adjacent to the CCL Project, Cheniere is developing and commercializing its Stage 3 expansion, which recently received federal regulatory authorization.
