Published Date: 7/1/2025
Notice
Summary
Freeport LNG asked for a 40-month extension to finish building their Train 4 Project at their Texas LNG terminal, pushing the deadline to December 1, 2031. This delay is because of a big explosion in 2022 that shut down the terminal, slowing down their work. The extension helps Freeport keep their plans on track without rushing, affecting energy exports and local jobs.
