The company purchases natural gas and processes it at its liquefaction facilities before shipping LNG to customers in international markets. Cheniere also provides natural gas pipeline, storage and other services that support its LNG operations. Cheniere operates the Sabine Pass LNG facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and the Corpus Christi LNG facility in South Texas. These facilities include LNG liquefaction plants, storage tanks and marine terminals, allowing the company to receive natural gas, convert it into LNG and load it onto specialized vessels for delivery. Cheniere serves utility, industrial and energy-trading customers in global markets, including Europe, Asia and Latin America. Founded in 1996, Cheniere originally focused on developing LNG import infrastructure in the United States. As domestic natural gas production expanded, the company shifted toward LNG exports. Sabine Pass began exporting LNG in 2016, marking a significant milestone in the growth of the U.S. LNG export industry. Cheniere is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Fusco.AI Generated. May Contain Errors.
