May 28 (Reuters) - The first liquefied natural gas (LNG)
vessel arrived on Tuesday at Sempra Energy's  SRE.N  $10 billion
Cameron LNG export terminal in Louisiana to pick up a cargo:
     
    * Mitsui & Co Ltd  8031.T , one of the partners in the
Cameron project, chartered the tanker, Marvel Crane, to pick up
the commissioning cargo, according to shipping data firm Kpler.
    * The first train at Cameron started producing LNG in mid
May.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N22Q0N4
    * Sempra has said Cameron Trains 2 and 3 will enter service
in the first and second quarters of 2020. 
    * The first three trains at Cameron will produce about 12
million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG, or roughly 1.7 billion
cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas. One billion cubic feet
of gas is enough to fuel about 5 million U.S. homes for a day.
    * Cameron is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra, Total SA
 TOTF.PA , Mitsui, and Japan LNG Investment LLC, a company
jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corp  8058.T  and Nippon Yusen
Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK)  9101.T . Sempra indirectly owns 50.2% of
Cameron.
    * McDermott International Inc  MDR.N  and Chiyoda Corp
 6366.T  are the lead contractors at Cameron.
    * Sempra has a long-term goal of exporting 45 MTPA of North
American LNG and is developing a second two-train phase at
Cameron, the Port Arthur LNG export terminal in Texas and plans
to add export facilities in two phases at its existing Costa
Azul LNG import terminal in Baja California in Mexico.
    * Saudi Aramco signed a 20-year agreement on May 22 to buy
LNG from Sempra's proposed Port Arthur LNG export plant.
