The company’s core activities include natural gas liquefaction, long‑term and short‑term LNG sales and marketing, and the associated midstream services required to move gas from production basins to international markets. Cheniere focuses on converting domestic natural gas into LNG for export, providing a bridge between North American supply and overseas demand. Cheniere’s principal operating assets are large-scale LNG export terminals located on the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the Sabine Pass facility in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi facility in Texas. These terminals house liquefaction trains, storage tanks and export berths, and are paired with pipeline interconnections and feed‑gas arrangements. Sabine Pass was the first large U.S. export terminal to begin commercial shipments in the 2010s, and Corpus Christi followed as part of the company’s expansion of U.S. export capacity. The company sells LNG under a mix of long‑term sale and purchase agreements and shorter‑term, destination‑flexible contracts, serving utility, trading and industrial customers in Asia, Europe and other international markets. Cheniere also engages in the logistics and scheduling needed to support cargo deliveries, including coordination of shipping and terminal operations, and typically manages commercial and operational risk through contractual structures common in the LNG industry. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Cheniere has positioned itself as a major participant in the U.S. LNG export sector, contributing to the country’s role as a global natural gas supplier. Its business model centers on developing and operating export infrastructure while marketing LNG to a diversified set of international buyers; governance, capital projects and commercial activities are focused on safe, reliable operations and fulfilling contractual commitments to counterparties.
