LNG Exports

Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) liquefaction facility is located on the Gulf Coast on the Texas/Louisiana border and became the US’ first LNG export facility in March 2016. The plant will ultimately be capable of processing over 4 BCF/day by the time Trains 5 and 6 are completed in 2019. The plant receives feedgas deliveries via Cheniere’s wholly owned Creole Trail Pipeline, an 85-mile pipeline that itself receives gas from the Transco, Natural Gas Pipeline of America (NGPL), Texas Eastern (TETCO), and Trunkline pipelines. Nearly 2 years later, the nation’s second LNG plant, Dominion’s Cove Point facility in eastern Maryland came online in late December 2017 with an export capacity of 0.8 BCF/day. Liquefied natural gas represents a new temperature-independent source of natural gas demand that will become increasingly influential in natural gas supply/demand balance. The graphs below plot daily & weekly natural gas deliveries to Sabine Pass that are subsequently cooled, liquefied, and transported throughout the world.
