Cheniere said on Friday that its EPC contractor Bechtel has transferred care, custody, and control of the train to the owner.<\/p>\n
According to Cheniere, the seven-train, 10-plus million-tonne-per-annum (mtpa) CCL Stage 3 project \u201ccontinues to track on budget and ahead of schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
In March 2025, Cheniere\u00a0achieved<\/a>\u00a0substantial completion of the first liquefaction train at the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project, while the company\u00a0completed<\/a>\u00a0the second liquefaction train in August,\u00a0the third train<\/a>\u00a0in October, and\u00a0the fourth train<\/a>\u00a0in December.<\/p>\n Cheniere CEO Jack Fusco said last week during an event in Houston that the company is working with Bechtel to \u201csafely and efficiently expedite the completion of the project\u2019s two remaining midscale trains later this year, as the company strives to supply the world with the reliable energy it needs.\u201d<\/p>\n The new milestone follows the installation earlier this month of \u201cfirst steel\u201d at the CCL Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project, a second expansion under construction at Corpus Christi. <\/p>\n The Midscale 8 & 9 Project and estimated debottlenecking opportunities stand to add another approximately 5 mtpa of capacity by late 2028. <\/p>\n That would put CCL at over 30 mtpa and Cheniere as a whole at over 60 mtpa.<\/p>\n
