Through its subsidiaries, the company purchases natural gas, processes it into LNG and sells it to customers under long-term agreements and in the global LNG market. Its operations also include LNG-related infrastructure, marketing and transportation activities.

The company has played a significant role in the expansion of U.S. LNG exports, with Sabine Pass beginning commercial LNG exports in 2016.
