Currently, the planned Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is advancing through marketing and development phases.  

Authorised by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September 2023, the project will feature two liquefaction trains with a capacity to produce around 13 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG.  

Construction is currently under way on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project, which includes trains 1 and 2, along with two LNG storage tanks and related infrastructure.

Train 1 of the first phase is expected to commence commercial operations in 2027 and train 2 in 2028. 

The Phase 2 would potentially double the facility’s total liquefaction capacity from approximately 13mtpa to up to 26mtpa. 

Sempra Infrastructure CEO Justin Bird said: ”We are thrilled to achieve this milestone with Bechtel for the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development project and are confident that our continued collaboration with this world-class construction firm on the Port Arthur site will further strengthen our ability to execute this project.” 

Bechtel Energy president Paul Marsden said: “We are excited for the opportunity to advance our partnership with Sempra Infrastructure on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, a vital project that will play a crucial role in meeting the world’s increasing need for cleaner and more reliable energy.” 

Last month, Sempra Infrastructure and Aramco entered into a non-binding agreement for the potential acquisition of 5mtpa of LNG and a 25% equity stake in the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project.
