Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become a cornerstone of global energy security, offering nations a more reliable fuel source while reducing dependence on unstable energy supply chains. Amid complex geopolitical shifts, the United States has solidified its role as a global leader in providing dependable LNG supply and helping countries strengthen their energy resilience.
Against this backdrop, we are proud to announce a positive final investment decision (FID) for Port Arthur LNG Phase 2, which will include two natural gas liquefaction trains, one LNG storage tank, an additional marine berth and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of U.S. produced LNG, doubling the terminal’s export capacity to 26 Mpta. Estimated incremental capital expenditures for the project is approximately $12 billion, plus an additional $2 billion for shared common facilities. Train 3 is expected to begin commercial operations in 2030 and Train 4 in 2031. This represents the largest LNG investment in Texas announced in 2025.
“Reaching a positive FID for the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project marks a decisive milestone not only for Sempra Infrastructure, but for the entire Port Arthur community and the Texas Gulf Coast,” said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. “By building on the strong foundation laid by Phase 1 that is currently under construction, we are amplifying economic opportunity, creating thousands of skilled jobs and delivering lasting benefits that will impact the entire Gulf Coast region. Our commitment to operational excellence will help this project safely drive sustainable growth and help shape the future of global energy markets for decades to follow.”
