Source: Cheniere

Cheniere Energy, Inc. announced that liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) was produced for the first time from the first train (“Train 1”) of the company’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 Liquefaction Project, called CCL Stage 3. The commissioning process continues and Cheniere expects substantial completion of Train 1 to be achieved at the end of the first quarter of 2025, more than six months ahead of the guaranteed completion date. Once completed, Bechtel Energy, Inc. will transfer care, custody and control of the completed train to Cheniere.

Full notice to proceed on CCL Stage 3 was issued to Bechtel by Cheniere in June 2022. CCL Stage 3 consists of seven midscale trains, with an expected total production capacity of over 10 million tons per annum (MPTA) of LNG. Upon substantial completion of all seven trains of CCL Stage 3, the expected total production capacity of the Corpus Christi liquefaction facility will be more than 25 MTPA of LNG.
