Cameron LNG’s partners are Sempra LNG and Midstream, Total, Mitsui and Japan LNG Investment, a joint venture (JV) between Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha and Mitsubishi.
In 2014, partners in the $10bn Cameron LNG project made a final investment decision to move further with the project development. The project secured the US DOE approval for the construction of three LNG liquefaction and export facilities at the existing LNG terminal in Hackberry during the same year.
In addition, McDermott and Chiyoda provided the engineering, procurement and construction for the liquefaction export facility since the project’s initial award in 2014.
