Bechtel Energy hands over the keys to Cheniere Energy’s CCL Stage 3.

Happy Thursday!  

We love a follow-up and good news, so it seemed fitting to speak on another update from Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Corpus Christi facility.  Back in March we blogged about Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Corpus Christi facility and their Stage 3 liquefaction project (CCL Stage 3) receiving their U.S. Department of Energy authorizations for non-Free trade Agreement Countries.   Well, they are in the news again!

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on September 1, 2026, their article titled, “Cheniere reaches substantial completion at CCL Stage 3”?   The article goes on to speak on how Cheniere Energy Inc. has received the keys from Bechtel Energy for their CCL Stage 3 project last week.  After over four years of work Bechtel Energy has completed most of the work on CCL Stage 3, with the first train of CCL3 completed in the Spring of 2025.  Cheniere’s CCL Stage 3 project involved constructing six midscale trains and related infrastructure.   With the completion of CCL Stage 3 at their Corpus Christi plant and their Sabine Pass plant; they can produce around 56 million tpy.  On another note: Earlier this summer Cheniere obtained approval from the U.S. Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) to add another two midscale trains.   Cheniere last week reached another milestone they exported its 5000th vessel of LNG out of one of its Gulf Coasts facilities.  We congratulate Cheniere Energy on their CCL Stage 3 project reaching this milestone.  If you would like to read more of the Oil & Gas Journal’s article, please click the link:   Cheniere reaches substantial completion at CCL Stage 3 | Oil & Gas Journal.
