Cheniere Partners produces first LNG at Sabine Pass Train 6

Cheniere Energy Partners LP produced LNG for the first time at its five-million tonne/year (tpy) Train 6 at the Sabine Pass liquefaction project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

The commissioning process continues, and Cheniere expects substantial completion of Train 6 to be achieved in first-quarter 2022, about one year ahead of the guaranteed completion date.

Upon substantial completion, Bechtel Energy Inc will transfer the completed train to Cheniere Partners and Sabine Pass’ total production capacity will be about 30 million tpy of LNG.

Full notice to proceed on Sabine Pass Train 6 was issued to Bechtel by Cheniere Partners in June 2019.

Cheniere owns 100% of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal.

Five liquefaction trains are operational. The terminal includes five existing LNG storage tanks with capacity of 16.9 bcf of gas equivalent, two marine berths which can accommodate vessels with nominal capacity of as much as 266,000 cubic metres, and vaporisers with regasification capacity of 4 bcfd. A third marine berth is under construction.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline LP, Cheniere also owns a 94-mile pipeline which interconnects the Sabine Pass LNG terminal with a number of large interstate pipelines.
