Sabine Pass Liquefaction facility | Source: Pipeline & Gas Journal (July 20, 2023)

The Sabine Pass LNG Terminal is located along the Sabine Pass River on the Texas–Louisiana border, in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Originally built as an LNG import and regasification terminal (commencing service in April 2008), it was converted and expanded into the first LNG export terminal in the lower 48 United States, commencing liquefaction operations in February 2016. Construction was carried out by Bechtel Energy across all six trains.

Expansion

A Stage 5 expansion (Trains 7–9, targeting ~13.5 mtpa additional capacity) is currently under regulatory review with FERC. If approved, this would bring Sabine Pass to a total of nine liquefaction trains and extend its capacity to ~43 mtpa, further cementing its position as the world's single liquifaction facility by train-based production capacity.
