Cheniere gets approval to introduce natural gas into final LNG expansion plant By Curtis Williams
HOUSTON, July 28 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators have approved Cheniere Energy's LNG.N request to introduce natural gas into Train 7 of its Corpus Christi LNG export project in south Texas, according to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) letter issued on Tuesday.
The approval takes the largest U.S. LNG exporter one step closer to production from its seventh and final train at its Corpus Christi midscale expansion project.
Corpus Christi Stage 3 is designed to add more than 10 million metric tons of LNG, expanding U.S. LNG export capacity as developers seek to meet growing global demand for the superchilled fuel.
The U.S. is the world's largest LNG exporter, and Cheniere is the second largest LNG producer in the world.
