During a panel discussion at the CERAWeek by IHS Markit energy conference, the company’s CEO Michael Sabel said that the installation of the new terminals will put the 10 million mt/year project well ahead of schedule.
The company recently installed the fifth and sixth liquefaction trains at the export plant, which is located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, south of the city of Lake Charles.
The company also reportedly launched a tender seeking LNG buyers from the Calcasieu Pass LNG plant from October 2021 to December 2022.
Sabel said that the firm selected smaller, modular trains, which could be built in a factory and shipped to the site, in order to save time and money.

By GlobalDataSabel was cited by Reuters as saying: “Instead of 13,000 people working at our site for three or four years, we peaked at around 3,000 and expect to come off that peak next month and we were only at that peak for a short amount of time.
“If all the world did was invest in cheaper gas, you would have the biggest, quickest impact on (reducing) global emissions.”
The Calcasieu Pass LNG export plant will be integrated with TransCameron pipeline to source feed gas.
The 38km-long TransCameron Pipeline will be interconnected with TETCO’s existing East Lateral pipeline near Grand Chenier, Louisiana.
