I remember vividly the day I posted about the number of LNG export terminals planned along the US Gulf Coast -- many years ago. A reader reminded me that just because the terminals were planned did not mean they would built.
It's been comments like that, over the years, that have made my desire to keep posting the blog. The blog will continue -- the question is whether to keep posting. Whatever. Back to the subject at hand.
Cheniere Energy (LNG) announced in February, 2026, that it has filed an application with FERC to construct a new LNG plant in Texas. The project will expand LNG production capacity. Well, duh.
- location: Corpus Christi, Texas
- project: the "Stage 4" expansion of its existing terminal at that location
- will add four new liquefaction trains, two storage tanks, and a 26-mile pipeline
- capacity: will add a million tones per annum (MTPA)
Update: the FID for Cheniere's "Stage 3" expansion announced in 2025; construction on that project was scheduled to last through 2030; budgeted at $8 billion. That project would only add two Midscale Trains 8 and 9.
