Cheniere, Bechtel Announce Substantial Completion of Train 1 at Corpus Christi
Cheniere Energy and Bechtel on Monday announced substantial completion of Train 1 of the Corpus Christi liquefaction project was achieved last week and said Bechtel has turned over the project to Cheniere following its commissioning.
“Train 1 at Corpus Christi has achieved Substantial Completion, becoming the first liquefaction train placed into operation at a greenfield liquefaction facility in the lower 48 states,” said Jack Fusco, President and CEO of Cheniere.”
Under sale and purchase agreements with Endesa S.A. and PT Pertamina (Persero), the date of first commercial delivery is expected to occur in June 2019. Additionally, bridging volumes are expected to begin in June 2019 under an SPA with Iberdrola, S.A., Cheniere said.
“It was three years ago that we were able to support Cheniere’s entry into the LNG export market with Train 1 at the Sabine Pass Liquefaction project," said Brendan Bechtel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bechtel. "With five trains now completed and operating well ahead of schedule, we are excited to continue working alongside Cheniere to deliver their next wave of trains ..."
Houston-based Cheniere has one of the largest liquefaction platforms in the world, consisting of the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi liquefaction facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast, with expected aggregate nominal production capacity of 36 million tons per year of LNG operating or under construction. – P&GJ
