(Reuters) \u2014 The United States has become the first country to export 10 million metric tons (MMt) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a single month, according to preliminary data from financial firm LSEG.<\/p>\n
Exports totaled a record 10.1 MMt in October, up from a revised 9.1 MMt in September, the data showed. Already the world\u2019s largest LNG exporter, the United States has achieved four record-setting months in 2025, driven by new capacity from Venture Global\u2019s Plaquemines LNG and the ramp-up of Cheniere Energy\u2019s Corpus Christi Stage 3 project.<\/p>\n
The Plaquemines facility in Louisiana shipped 2.2 MMt in October, surpassing its September record of 1.6 MMt. Cheniere\u2019s Corpus Christi plant exported 1.6 MMt, also a record. Combined with 2.6 MMt from Sabine Pass, Cheniere accounted for 4.2 MMt, or 42 percent of all U.S. LNG exports for the month.<\/p>\n
When the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion is complete in 2026, Cheniere expects annual capacity to exceed 50 MMtpy, Chief Executive Officer Jack Fusco said in a recent earnings call. Together, Venture Global and Cheniere supplied 72 percent of U.S. exports in October, according to LSEG.<\/p>\n
Europe Remains the Largest Buyer<\/p>\n
Europe remained the top destination, receiving 6.9 MMt, or nearly 69 percent of total exports, compared with 6.22 MMt in September. Asian imports rose to 1.96 MMt, while Latin American deliveries declined slightly to 0.57 MMt as the region entered warmer months. Egypt imported 0.43 MMt, and Senegal received 0.1 MMt, LSEG data showed.<\/p>\n
In October, gas traded at $10.88\/MMBtu at the European benchmark Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF), down from $11.13\/MMBtu in September. At Asia\u2019s Japan Korea Marker (JKM), the average was $11.11\/MMBtu, compared with $11.32\/MMBtu the prior month. With benchmark prices nearly equal, U.S. exporters had little incentive to divert cargoes from Europe to Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The record was driven by new output from Venture Global\u2019s Plaquemines facility and Cheniere\u2019s Corpus Christi…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-35473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
