Brief Description

  • A conversion of the existing Cameron LNG Terminal into a large liquifaction terminal
  • The project added three separate systems that liquefy natural gas; one 160,000-cubic-meter, full-containment LNG storage tank; refrigerant make-up and condensate product storage; a truck loading/unloading area; one marine work dock; minor modifications to existing terminal facilities; 21 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline; one 56,820-horsepower compressor station; and ancillary facilities.

Technical Details

  • Storage capacity: Four full-containment storage tanks (4 x 160,000 cubic meters) (One additional tank)
  • Constructor:
    • Foster Wheeler: Owner's Engineer Contract
    • Tractebel: review of FEED LNG liquefaction/process package
    • CB&I and Chiyoda: Engineering, procurement and construction for the addition of natural gas liquefaction and export facilities
  • Licence: Air Products

Ongoing Projects/Project Status

  • The terminal was commissioned in 2019
  • In 2016, Cameron LNG received all the regulatory approvals needed to expand the base 3-Train project. The Expansion Project, if undertaken, would include two additional liquefaction Trains (Trains No. 4 and No. 5) and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks.
