Cheniere Completes First Train at Corpus Christi Stage 3 LNG Project
(P&GJ) — Cheniere Energy has achieved substantial completion of Train 1 at its Corpus Christi Stage 3 Liquefaction Project, the company announced on March 16. With commissioning now complete, Bechtel Energy has handed over control of the train and associated systems to Cheniere.
Going forward, financial results from LNG sales from Train 1 will be reflected in Cheniere’s operations.
“The substantial completion of the first train of CCL Stage 3—ahead of schedule and on budget—marks another important milestone for Cheniere and further builds upon the track record of excellence in execution consistently delivered by the Cheniere and Bechtel teams,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and CEO. “We remain focused on safely and efficiently bringing the remaining CCL Stage 3 trains online ahead of schedule, providing much-needed new LNG supply to the global market, and creating long-term value for our stakeholders by growing the Corpus Christi platform with disciplined, brownfield growth.”
Cheniere issued a full notice to proceed on the project in June 2022. First LNG production from Train 1 began in December 2024, and the first cargo was loaded in February 2025. The Corpus Christi Stage 3 project consists of seven midscale trains, expected to produce over 10 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG.
As of Jan. 31, the project was 78.3% complete, with engineering at 97.6%, procurement at 97.2%, subcontract work at 88.8%, and construction at 45.5%. Once all seven trains are operational, the total production capacity at Corpus Christi will exceed 25 mtpa.
