Cheniere Energy has announced the substantial completion of Train 1 at the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Liquefaction Project. The milestone was achieved ahead of schedule on March 16, 2025, with Bechtel Energy transferring care and control of Train 1 to Cheniere. Financial results from LNG sales associated with Train 1 will now be reflected in Cheniere’s operations.

Corpus Christi Stage 3 consists of seven midscale trains, expected to produce over 10 million tonnes per annum of LNG. As of January 31, 2025, the overall project was 78.3% complete. Once all trains are operational, the total production capacity of the Corpus Christi facility will exceed 25 million tonnes per year.

Cheniere, the largest U.S. LNG producer and exporter, operates the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi facilities with a total production capacity exceeding 46 million tonnes per year. The company continues to expand its liquefaction infrastructure while pursuing additional growth opportunities along the LNG value chain.
