Venture Global LNG

Venture Global announced that it has notified its long-term customers that its Calcasieu Pass facility will commence commercial operations on April 15, 2025. The facility will achieve its commercial operation date, or COD, in under 68 months from its August 2019 final investment decision, despite substantial impacts including two hurricanes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and major unforeseen manufacturing issues, such as with the Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) forming part of the facility’s power island. Venture Global wishes to express its gratitude to its construction and completion teams who tirelessly worked to safely complete our facilities, to our vendor teams who provided invaluable support for the necessary repairs, and to our government regulators, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, for their oversight and cooperation. These efforts now allow us to supply our long-term customers with the full 20-year contract term of the lowest-cost, clean LNG as promised under our contracts, and, with our COD, makes Calcasieu Pass among the fastest greenfield LNG projects completed.

VG Responds to Total: “We have always had great respect for Total, but we are disappointed to see them sound like just another foreign incumbent threatened by growing US LNG supply. It’s not a ‘trick’, it’s innovation. Venture Global has now proven twice that our unique 18+ factory-built train configuration can bring US LNG to the market both years faster and at a lower cost." https://lnkd.in/eZEMKa-v

🚨NEWS: Today, Venture Global (VG) announced the successful loading and departure of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo produced from the company’s Plaquemines LNG facility. The inaugural commissioning cargo was loaded onto the Venture Global Bayou – one vessel in VG’s fleet of nine new, state-of-the-art LNG ships – and is being shipped to ENBW in Germany, marking over 60 LNG cargos sent from Venture Global into Germany since 2022. 🇺🇸🇩🇪 Plaquemines LNG is one of the two fastest greenfield projects of its size to reach first production and, now, first cargo delivery, along with Venture Global’s first project, Calcasieu Pass. “I am extremely proud of our team whose relentless execution has enabled Venture Global to continue to meet milestones at exceptional speed. In just five years, Venture Global has built, produced and launched exports from two large-scale LNG projects which has never been done before in the history of the industry,” said Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel.

🚨NEW: America's 8th LNG Export Facility Achieves First Production 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Today, Venture Global announced it has reached first LNG production at the company’s second facility, Plaquemines LNG, in Port Sulphur, Louisiana. Achieving this milestone for a 20 MTPA nameplate capacity project 30 months from its Final Investment Decision (FID) makes Plaquemines LNG one of the two fastest greenfield projects to reach first production, along with Venture Global’s first facility Calcasieu Pass. Once fully operational, Plaquemines LNG will be among the largest facilities in the world. “Venture Global is proud to have a world-class team wholly dedicated to our company’s mission of innovating to provide reliable, low-cost, LNG to the world. Because of their hard work and commitment, Venture Global is executing on our promise to deliver much-needed LNG to our allies and strengthen global energy security and reliability. Reaching first LNG at Plaquemines at this pace will enable the United States to remain the top exporter of LNG in the world. Between current and planned facilities, Venture Global is prepared to invest $50 billion in energy projects based in the United States which will create jobs, support local economies, strengthen the balance of trade and unleash much needed US LNG supply to our allies,” said Venture Global CEO & Co-Founder Mike Sabel. Plaquemines LNG reached a Final Investment Decision on Phase One in May 2022, and on Phase Two in March 2023. Because of Venture Global’s unique configuration and construction approach, Plaquemines will produce and export LNG while construction and commissioning continues for the remainder of the project’s 36 trains and associated facilities, unlocking significant additional US LNG supply years faster than any other new suppliers of LNG to the rapidly growing global market. This incremental supply has proven to be a valuable geopolitical asset for the United States especially in recent years during a time of historically tight global LNG markets and project delays.

Venture Global LNG is proud to announced our new multi-year partnership with Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards and Washington Mystics!

🚨NEWS: Today, Venture Global announced the execution of a binding long-term terminal use agreement (TUA) with GASTRADE S.A. enabling the regasification and sale of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Venture Global’s terminals in Louisiana to markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Under the agreement, Venture Global has secured approximately 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG regasification capacity at the new Alexandroupolis LNG receiving terminal in Greece for five years, beginning in 2025. Venture Global’s capacity will account for approximately 25% of the total terminal capacity, or approximately 12 cargoes annually. The new Alexandroupolis LNG FSRU receiving terminal and South-North ‘Vertical Corridor’ will be essential to enhancing Central and Eastern European energy security by providing a new route to bring alternative supplies of natural gas into the region. Critical energy infrastructure projects in Greece have been supported in part by European co-funding as well as the United States Government through the Development Finance Corporation (DFC).    “Venture Global is thrilled to expand our European regasification capacity at Greece’s new Alexandroupolis LNG terminal,” said Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel. “This move further integrates our business by growing our assets across the LNG supply chain including LNG production, shipping and regasification. As a major point of entry for LNG into Central and Eastern Europe, this strategically important infrastructure will be a game changer for the region’s ability to diversify their energy and access a secure and reliable energy supply. Venture Global is proud to support these efforts as a strategic partner with volumes from both Plaquemines LNG and the future CP2 LNG.”
