Cheniere Expands US LNG Capacity with Corpus Christi Stage 3 Completion

Cheniere Energy has completed its Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project in Texas, increasing its liquefied natural gas production capacity by more than 20% to 56 million tons per annum (mtpa).

The expansion strengthens Cheniere's position as the largest US LNG exporter at a time when the industry is adding capacity to meet growing demand from overseas markets.

Corpus Christi LNG has been operating as an export terminal since 2018, and Cheniere is also constructing an adjacent expansion project for two additional trains that received a final investment decision in 2025.

The company reported a 1.65% premarket increase in its shares following the news of the expansion completion.
