Cheniere Energy Partners (NYSE:CQP) LP (NYSE:CQP) is a leading midstream energy company that specializes in the development, ownership and operation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure in the United States. Established in 2007 as an affiliate of Cheniere Energy, the partnership was formed to develop large-scale liquefaction facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Its principal assets include natural gas pipelines, storage facilities and two world-class LNG export terminals: Sabine Pass in Louisiana and Corpus Christi in Texas. These facilities convert domestically produced natural gas into LNG for delivery to global markets.
Through its Sabine Pass terminal, which began operations in 2016, Cheniere Energy Partners has built multiple liquefaction trains capable of exporting LNG around the clock. The Corpus Christi terminal, brought online in stages starting in 2018, further expanded the partnership’s capacity and geographic reach. Both terminals are connected to major interstate and intrastate gas pipelines, providing flexibility in sourcing feed gas. Cheniere Energy Partners also offers marine services, including jetty operations and vessel berthing, to ensure efficient loading and export of LNG to customers in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Cheniere Energy Partners has secured long-term, fixed-fee liquefaction contracts with investment-grade counterparties, supporting project financing and providing stable cash flow. The partnership leverages its strategic coastal locations to serve markets that have historically relied on seaborne LNG imports, capitalizing on global demand for cleaner-burning natural gas. Over time, it has evolved into one of the largest LNG exporters in the United States, benefiting from the abundant supply of shale gas and the country’s competitive cost structure.
Under the leadership of an experienced management team, including President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Fusco, Cheniere Energy Partners continues to pursue infrastructure optimization and operational excellence. The company remains focused on maximizing utilization of existing assets, exploring incremental capacity enhancements and maintaining robust safety and environmental practices. As global energy markets evolve, Cheniere Energy Partners aims to play a pivotal role in matching U.S. natural gas supply with growing international consumption.
