June 19 (LNGJ) - Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi LNG export plant in Texas has been given permission by regulators to start exports from a second jetty. “We grant the request for Corpus Christi Liquefaction to introduce hazardous fluids and, upon successful completion of those activities within design specifications, commence service for export from the East Jetty facilities,” said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The LNG plant is located on La Quinta Channel on the northeast side of Corpus Christi Bay and the first stage development comprises two Trains, each with 4.5 million tonnes per annum of capacity and a second stage will see a third Train coming on stream in 2021. A future third-stage development comprises seven mid-scale Trains, adding around 10 MTPA to the output.
