Venture Global, the US liquefied natural gas export projects developer in the state of Louisiana, said long-term expansion would increase production from 70 million tonnes per annum to more than 100 MTPA of nameplate capacity.
Cheniere Energy, the leading US LNG export company through its Sabine Pass plant in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi facility in Texas, is on its way to becoming a world-scale producer, behind only Australia and Qatar, with the approval by US regulators of its Texan expansion venture using mid-scale liquefaction and taking total overall output for Cheniere to 52 MTPA.
