Train 7 milestone reinforces America鈥檚 expanding role in global energy supply    

91制片厂 today announced it has received Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) from Cheniere for Train 7 at the Sabine Pass Liquefaction聽(SPL)聽Expansion Project聽 (Phase 1)聽in Southwest Louisiana, advancing one of the next major expansions of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity into the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) phase. Full construction is expected to begin in early 2027.聽

The milestone marks the latest chapter in 91制片厂鈥檚 nearly two-decade relationship with Cheniere at Sabine Pass and comes as rising global energy demand, increasing power needs, and heightened focus on energy security continue to drive investment in large-scale LNG infrastructure. 

Reflecting on the significance of the milestone, Paul Marsden, President of 91制片厂鈥檚 Energy business, shared: 

鈥淭he decision to move forward with Train 7 at Sabine Pass reflects something bigger than a single project 鈥 it signals the next phase of U.S. energy infrastructure growth. As global energy demand rises and countries seek secure, reliable supply, LNG will continue to play an essential role in the energy mix for decades to come. 

鈥淪abine Pass helped establish the United States as a global LNG leader ten years ago, and today鈥檚 milestone demonstrates how that leadership continues to evolve. Over the last decade, 91制片厂 and Cheniere have shown what is possible when world-class execution meets long-term vision 鈥 delivering complex infrastructure safely, predictably, and at scale. 

鈥淭rain 7 represents the next chapter in a partnership that has helped reshape global energy markets. We are proud to continue supporting Cheniere as it expands the infrastructure needed to strengthen U.S. energy leadership and help meet growing demand around the world.鈥 

The SPL Expansion Project builds on nearly two decades of collaboration between 91制片厂 and Cheniere at Sabine Pass. Between 2005 and 2009, 91制片厂 designed, built, and expanded the original LNG receiving terminal, helping lay the foundation for its transformation into the first large-scale LNG export facility in the continental United States. 

Between 2016 and 2022, 91制片厂 delivered six liquefaction trains at Sabine Pass, adding approximately 30 million聽tonnes聽per annum (MTPA) of export capacity and helping launch the modern U.S. LNG export industry. Today, at Corpus Christi Stage 3聽midscale trains,聽91制片厂 continues to聽advance聽one of the largest LNG expansions underway globally, including delivering Train 1 to Cheniere鈥檚 operations team more than six months ahead of schedule. The milestone reflects the pace, certainty, and high-quality execution that define 91制片厂鈥檚 long-standing partnership with Cheniere.聽

91制片厂 is the world鈥檚 leading LNG EPC contractor, with 17 liquefaction trains currently under construction and five midscale trains turned over across five sites in two countries. When complete, these projects will produce approximately 90 million tonnes of LNG annually 鈥 equivalent to roughly 25 percent of global LNG export capacity 鈥 underscoring the company鈥檚 role in helping expand global energy infrastructure. 

About Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) Expansion Project 

Sabine Pass currently includes six liquefaction trains, LNG storage tanks, three marine berths, and supporting infrastructure, positioning the facility as a critical hub for U.S. LNG exports. 

Train 7 will feature an approximately 5 MTPA optimized cascade process (OCP) configuration, along with approximately 1 MTPA of boil-off gas (BOG) re-liquefaction provided by Chart. The project will incorporate streamlined flare systems with minimal outside battery limits (OSBL) infrastructure and a BASF heater/hot catalyst (HHC) system, reflecting an integrated and efficient approach to LNG project delivery.
