Commonwealth LNG plans to nearly double Louisiana terminal

Caturus has unveiled a five-train expansion of its Commonwealth LNG export terminal in Louisiana that would add 7.75m tonnes a year of capacity and lift the planned facility to around 17.25m tonnes a year.

The expansion comes four months after Caturus took a final investment decision on the six-train, 9.5m tonne base project in Cameron Parish, backed by $9.75bn in project financing.

Construction of the first phase is underway with operations targeted for 2030. Around 8.5m tonnes a year of its capacity has already been contracted under long-term sale and purchase agreements.

Caturus is targeting the additional five trains for service in the early 2030s and intends to use the modular construction approach, equipment supply chain and contractors established for the first phase.
