Houston-based Cheniere Energy announced it has produced and exported its 1000th cargo of LNG, what the company claims to be an industry record, making it the fastest producer in the world to reach this milestone.The 1000th cargo was exported within a four-year time period after startup, Cheniere informed.
These 1,000 cargoes are coming from both the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project (SPL Project) and the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project (CCL Project).
Cheniere’s 1000th cargo departed on the vessel Hoegh Galleon on 26 January 2020 from Cheniere’s CCL Project.
Meanwhile, the organization also celebrated the 100th cargo produced at the CCL Project, which departed on the vessel Yari LNG on 13 January 2020.
The SPL Project consists of six natural gas liquefaction trains, five of which are fully operational and one is under construction.
The CCL 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.
