Golden Pass LNG Export Terminal
Golden Pass LNG Export Terminal is a large-scale LNG project that adds liquefaction and export capacity to the existing Golden Pass LNG import terminal. The project is designed to operate in integration with five existing 155,000 m³ LNG storage tanks, two large ship berths, newly constructed natural gas pre-treatment units built on the 69-mile Golden Pass Pipeline, and three liquefaction trains.

With three trains, each having an approximate capacity of 5.2 million tons per year, the terminal’s total LNG production capacity will reach a range of 15–18 million tons per year. When fully operational, the facility will be able to convert approximately 2.5–2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day into LNG for export, making it one of the major LNG export terminals in the United States.

The project is an approximately 10 billion USD investment carried out in partnership between QatarEnergy (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%), and is expected to create thousands of construction jobs and more than 200 permanent positions. Thanks to its deep-water port on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, the export terminal will be able to accommodate the largest LNG carriers and will supply LNG to global markets by sourcing natural gas from major shale basins such as Haynesville, Permian, and Marcellus through existing pipeline connections.
