Moscow, October 23 – Neftegaz.RU. Cheniere Energy, Inc. announced today that its subsidiaries, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC and Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, have each entered into long-term liquefied natural gas sale and purchase agreements with QatarEnergy to supply a total of 4 million tonnes per annum of LNG through 2054.

Under the SPAs, QatarEnergy has agreed to purchase 2 mtpa of LNG from each of SPL and CCL on a free-on-board (FOB) basis for a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price plus a fixed fee. Deliveries under the SPAs will begin in the early 2030s and continue through the end of 2054, with 1 mtpa of the SPL SPA subject to a positive Final Investment Decision with respect to the first phase of the SPL Expansion Project.

«These pivotal, multi-decade agreements with QatarEnergy, one of the world’s most important energy companies and a cornerstone of the global LNG industry, represent a major long-term commercial commitment and reinforce Cheniere’s position as the leader in U.S. LNG», said Jack Fusco, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

About SPL Expansion Project

Through Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., the existing Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project (SPL) is being expanded; its expected maximum production capacity will be up to approximately 20 million metric tons of LNG per year, including anticipated bottleneck relief capabilities, which will increase the SPL’s total production capacity to more than 50 million metric tons of LNG per year. The project will be implemented in phases.

The first phase is expected to include a single train, Train 7, and a boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, along with supporting infrastructure and tie-ins to the existing Sabine Pass LNG terminal, and has an expected total production capacity of over 6 mtpa of LNG, inclusive of estimated debottlenecking opportunities. In May 2026, the lump sum, turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Bechtel Energy, Inc. for the first phase of the SPL Expansion Project was signed, and Bechtel was released to commence early engineering and procurement under a limited notice to proceed (LNTP).
