progress for the sixth train, Cheniere could reach substantial completion of the seventh train in September this year, or even in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to FERC\u2019s previous reports, the regulator approved Cheniere\u2019s request to introduce propane into the midscale Train 6 thermal oxidizer and hot oil furnace on March 31.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheniere then received <a href=\"https:\/\/lngprime.com\/americas\/cheniere-gets-ferc-ok-to-introduce-fuel-gas-to-sixth-corpus-christi-expansion-train\/183365\/\"

complete the full seven-train, 10-plus-million-tonne-per-annum (mtpa) expansion later this year,\u201d the company said at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheniere and Bechtel are also building the CCL midscale Trains 8 and 9 project, a second expansion under construction at Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project and estimated debottlenecking opportunities stand to add another approximately 5 mtpa of capacity by late 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would put CCL at over 30 mtpa and Cheniere as a whole at over 60 mtpa.<\/p>\n<p
