Sempra-Led US LNG Project Marks 1,000 Global Deliveries

Cameron LNG, an LNG export facility in Hackberry, Louisiana, has exported its 1,000th cargo, as shared in a company social media post. The milestone shipment departed on the Maran Gas Kimolos vessel. Over six years, the terminal has supplied LNG to 37 countries, addressing rising global energy demand.

Operated by a joint venture of Sempra Infrastructure (50.2%), TotalEnergies (16.6%), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (16.6%), and Japan LNG Investment—a partnership of Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) (16.6%)—the facility is located 29 kilometers north of the Gulf of Mexico on the Calcasieu ship channel. Its three-train setup can export up to 14.95 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), with Train 1 operational since August 2019, Train 2 since March 2020, and Train 3 since August 2020.

Cameron LNG is planning an expansion, initially approved for two additional trains with a 4.98-mtpa capacity. In 2022, the company requested a permit amendment from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a single 6.75-mtpa train, increasing total capacity to 21.7 mtpa.

The achievement highlights Cameron LNG’s role in global energy markets, with its expansion set to further strengthen its export capabilities.
