“Like the five midscale trains before it, Train 6 has been delivered safely and ahead of schedule, boosting our ability to supply the world with the critical energy it needs,” Cheniere said on Friday.
“We continue to work closely with Bechtel, our engineering, procurement and construction contractor, and expect to complete the full seven-train, 10-plus-million-tonne-per-annum (mtpa) expansion later this year,” the company said.
In March 2025, Cheniere achieved substantial completion of the first liquefaction train at the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project, while the company completed the second liquefaction train in August, the third train in October, the fourth train in December, and the fifth train in March this year.
Cheniere and Bechtel are also building the CCL midscale Trains 8 and 9 project, a second expansion under construction at Corpus Christi.
The project and estimated debottlenecking opportunities stand to add another approximately 5 mtpa of capacity by late 2028.
That would put CCL at over 30 mtpa and Cheniere as a whole at over 60 mtpa.
In addition to these CCL expansions, Cheniere received approval from FERC to initiate the environmental pre-filing review for its Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 4 project.
The trains will have a peak production capacity of approximately 24 mtpa of LNG.
