Sabine Pass LNG regasification terminal inauguration
Posted: 21 April 2008
The Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal (Louisiana, on the Gulf of Mexico) built by Cheniere Energy, Inc. was inaugurated today.
Total is pleased that the terminal has now come on stream. The Group had reserved rights to 10 billion cubic meters a year in regasification capacity beginning in April 2009.
Capacity at the facility will be increased from a current 26 billion cubic meters per year to 40 billion after phase 2 is commissioned, making it the largest LNG terminal in the United States.
After opening the LNG terminals in Hazira, India in 2005 and Altamira, Mexico in 2006 and ahead of the commissioning of the terminals in South Hook, UK and Fos Cavaou, France, Total is pursuing its LNG strategy by developing access for its production in the world’s leading gas markets.
