Cheniere to Roll Out Second LNG Unit
Cheniere Energy Inc. plans to start exporting liquefied natural gas in August from a second plant at its Sabine Pass terminal in Cameron Parish, according to a report from Bloomberg News.
Cheniere began exporting LNG in February from its first unit at Sabine Pass. In its fourth-quarter report, Cheniere said the second unit could begin producing LNG by mid-2016.
When completed, the Sabine Pass facility will have six LNG units. The first two units have a combined production capacity of 9.9 million tons LNG per year.
“Actual project progress supports the achievement of substantial completion for Trains 1 and 2 by late May 2016 and September 2016, respectively," the company said in the filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
