Cheniere begins Corpus Christi LNG Train 3 operations

Cheniere Energy Inc. has received approval from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to put the third train at its 15-million tonne/year (tpy) Corpus Christi LNG plant in commercial service. Commissioning of Train 3 is complete, and Bechtel Oil, Gas, and Chemicals Inc. has turned over operations to Cheniere.

The train has been operating for evaluation and testing since August 2020. Trains 1 and 2 entered service in 2019. 

Cheniere is also commercializing Stage 3 expansion at Corpus Christi, which proposes up to seven ​midscale trains that would add 10 million tpy of production.
