Sempra Infrastructure's Port Arthur LNG Expansion Remains On Track

Sempra Infrastructure's Port Arthur LNG expansion remains on track despite some unexpected challenges. The company has been working to complete its ECA LNG Phase 1 project, a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility in Ensenada, Mexico.

The project achieved mechanical completion in December 2025 and introduced feed gas into the facility in April 2026. However, after exporting its first cargo, the plant was shut down for planned inspections, where damage was found in the refrigerator compressors.

Sempra Infrastructure is focused on delivering energy for a better world by developing modern infrastructure such as LNG, energy networks, and low-carbon solutions. The company's Port Arthur LNG expansion is expected to add 26 million tons per annum of American natural gas to global markets.
