Sempra Infrastructure (which is reducing its stake to 25%) recently placed the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connection project into operation, which supplies natural gas to Phase 1 of the Port Arthur LNG project. In March 2023, Sempra Infrastructure made a final investment decision on Phase 1 of the Port Arthur LNG export project, valued at approximately $13 billion. Bechtel was awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract worth $10.5 billion, including the construction of two production trains with a total capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and two storage tanks with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters each. The expected commercial operation dates for Train 1 and Train 2 are 2027 and 2028, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 is a joint venture between Sempra Infrastructure and ConocoPhillips, and has signed long-term sales and purchase agreements with ConocoPhillips, RWE, Orlen, Ineos, and Engie. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure made a final investment decision on Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 last year. Including the 13 mtpa capacity from Phase 1, the facility's total capacity will reach approximately 26 mtpa. The expected commercial operation dates for Train 3 and Train 4 are 2030 and 2031, respectively. Phase 2 is co-owned by Sempra Infrastructure and an investor consortium led by Blackstone Credit & Insurance (including KKR, funds managed by Apollo, and Private Credit under Goldman Sachs Alternatives), and has signed final long-term offtake agreements with strategic partner ConocoPhillips as the anchor, as well as counterparties such as EQT and Jera.
