Cheniere subsidiary asks to introduce gas to 1st Corpus Christi LNG train

A Cheniere Energy Inc. subsidiary asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to introduce gas to commission the Corpus Christi LNG export facility's first liquefaction train.

Corpus Christi Liquefaction LLC on June 7 requested that FERC staff grant the authorization before June 29 so the Texas terminal, which is under construction, can begin commercial service in 2019. The petition came just weeks after FERC permitted Cheniere to start service on a 23-mile, 48-inch-diameter pipeline to transport gas between the LNG terminal and interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline systems.

In May, Cheniere announced it plans to move forward with a third liquefaction train at Corpus Christi LNG. The company got the first final investment decision for a new U.S. LNG export project since 2015. Once all units are online, the terminal will be able to produce 2.1 Bcf/d of LNG.
