Another LNG facility being constructed along the Louisiana Gulf Coast is going to increase the amount of LNG they’ll export.

Happy Thursday!

We like to stay on top of the happenings around the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coasts.  We blogged back in mid-May 2026, on Caturus’ final investment decision to move forward with their Commonwealth LNG project. Well, they are in the news again. 

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s LNG & Transportation Report Newsletter on September 30, 2026, their article titled, “Caturus plans to nearly double capacity of under-construction Commonwealth LNG plant”?     The article goes on to speak on how Caturus’ who is currently constructing their Commonwealth LNG in Cameron Parish, Louisiana has announced at G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial they will be expanding their initial plan of exporting 9.5 million tonnes a year (tpy) of LNG from their future facility to over 17 million tpy.   The current $13.5 billion project which would have had only six trains in its initial buildout and a first cargo expected in around four years, now looks like its second phase will add an additional five trains and nearly 8 million tpy.  Caturus is betting on their upstream assets and demand for LNG as the drive to expand its future facility.  We wish Caturus’ luck completing their Commonwealth LNG plant on time and in budget.  We will let you know, if we hear anything else on Caturus’ future Gulf Coast facility.  If you would like to read more of the Oil & Gas Journal’s article, please click the link Caturus plans to nearly double capacity of under-construction Commonwealth LNG plant | Oil & Gas Journal.
