Substantial Completion of Train 6 at the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project

Today Cheniere announced the substantial completion of Train 6 at the Sabine Pass liquefaction project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The milestone was achieved on February 4, 2022. Commissioning is complete and Cheniere’s engineering, procurement and construction partner Bechtel has turned over care, custody, and control of Train 6 to Cheniere.

A final Investment Decision was reached for Train 6 in May 2019. The aggregate nominal production capacity of Sabine Pass liquefaction project with all six trains is expected to be approximately 30 mtpa of LNG. The facility will be able to process more than 4.7 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas into LNG. 

“With nine total trains across both the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi projects, the Cheniere liquefaction platform is the second largest in the world, reliably providing our global customer base with clean, secure and affordable energy. We look forward to opportunities to build upon our platform with disciplined, brownfield growth at both sites in the future.” said Jack Fusco, Chairman, President and CEO of Cheniere Partners.

Sabine Pass liquefaction is adding a third marine berth and supporting facilities to enhance operating flexibility at the Sabine Pass LNG facility. The third berth will be used to load LNG vessels for export and will be sized to accommodate vessels with a capacity of 125,000-180,000 cubic meters. Construction on the third berth is underway, and the targeted completion of the project is in 2023.
