Golden Pass LNG Ships 1st Export Cargo From Texas Terminal
Golden Pass LNG, a joint venture between QatarEnergy and Exxon Mobil (XOM), launched its first liquefied natural gas export cargo on Wednesday from its terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas, the company said.This maiden voyage marks a critical step toward full commercial operations for one of North America's largest export facilities.The company noted that the construction and commissioning teams continue work on Trains 2 and 3, which will follow Train 1 into service once stable operations are established.At full capacity, the facility will export about 18 million tons of LNG annually.The massive infrastructure includes three liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 18.1 million tons per year, five storage tanks holding 155,000 cubic meters each, and two marine berths capable of docking the world's largest LNG carriers.
