Notice
Summary
Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage IV and Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline want to expand their Texas LNG terminal and pipeline to handle way more natural gas—adding new liquefaction trains, storage tanks, and a bigger marine terminal. This means more ships and gas flow, with the pipeline expansion costing about $835 million. If you’re interested, you’ve got until the intervention deadline to speak up or get involved!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Large LNG Terminal Capacity Increase
The Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage IV Project would add four new liquefaction trains to the existing Texas LNG terminal for a maximum liquefaction capacity of approximately 1,200 billion cubic feet per year (24 million tonnes per annum). The project also adds two 220,000 cubic meter LNG storage tanks, a third marine terminal sized for LNG carriers up to about 200,000 cubic meters, and would increase authorized vessels from 480 to 870 per year.
25.8‑Mile Pipeline and Compressor Buildout
The CCPL Expansion Project would construct about 25.8 miles of 42‑inch pipeline and a new Sinton 2 compressor station with two 52,500 horsepower units (105,000 HP total), increasing delivery capacity to the terminal by approximately 2.75 billion cubic feet per day. CCPL estimates the project cost at $834,918,910 and 'proposes incremental rates for the project.'
