en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sempra Infrastructure has produced the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the first phase of its ECA LNG project in Ensenada, Mexico, marking the start of the commissioning phase before commercial operations. The facility, a joint venture between Sempra Infrastructure and TotalEnergies, features a single liquefaction train with a designed annual capacity of 3.25 million tons. TotalEnergies and Mitsui & Co. have provided long-term sale and purchase agreement support for the project.

Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure, stated: "The production of first LNG is a significant milestone on the path to full operations in the coming months." Located on Mexico's Pacific coast, the terminal offers a shorter maritime route for delivering U.S.-produced natural gas to markets in Asia and other Pacific Basin regions compared to alternative routes via the Gulf Coast.

Sempra Infrastructure expects the main project to be substantially completed by summer 2026, after which commercial operations and sales will commence under long-term agreements. ECA LNG Phase 1 is part of the company's portfolio, which spans the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexico's Pacific coast. Currently, Phase 2 at the same Ensenada site is under development.
