Cheniere completes new Sabine Pass LNG export unit in Louisiana – Reuters

HOUSTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - U.S. liquefied natural gas company Cheniere Energy (LNG.A) on Monday said it had finished construction of a sixth liquefaction unit at its Sabine Pass LNG export plant in Louisiana, paving the way for higher commercial exports.

Contractor Bechtel Group on Friday finished building the sixth LNG processing train ahead of schedule and within budget, the companies said. The work began in June 2019.

Completion brings total production capacity at its Sabine Pass facility to about 30 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG. Cheniere's other LNG plant, in Corpus Christi, Texas, produces another 15 MTPA.
