Cheniere Energy Partners LP has produced LNG for the first time at Train 6 of its Sabine Pass Liquefaction facility, the company said on Nov. 23. The commissioning process continues, and Cheniere Partners expects substantial completion of Train 6 to be achieved in the first quarter of 2022, approximately 1 year ahead of the guaranteed completion date.
Upon substantial completion, Bechtel Energy Inc. will transfer the completed train to Cheniere Partners and Sabine Pass’ total production capacity will be approximately 30 million tonnes per annum of LNG.
“This milestone is yet another impressive achievement by the Bechtel and Cheniere teams who continue to safely commission and bring our LNG trains online ahead of schedule and within project budgets,” said Jack Fusco, chairman, president and CEO of Cheniere Partners. “With global economic activity increasing and the winter season approaching in key LNG markets around the world, providing additional supplies of reliable LNG can help companies, countries and communities around the world during this high-demand period.”
Full notice to proceed on Sabine Pass Train 6 was issued to Bechtel by Cheniere Partners in June 2019. Since then, the peak workforce building Train 6 was 1,800 workers who have completed approximately 5 million craft professional hours, installed 12,250 tons of steel, poured 48,500 yards of concrete, and laid 2.5 million feet of cable.
“These LNG projects are powering the energy transition and enabling access to cleaner energy around the world,” Brendan Bechtel, chairman and CEO of Bechtel, said. “Cheniere Partners continues to be at the forefront in the LNG industry and we are honored to play a role in improving access to this energy source for communities that need it.”
