McDermott confirms Cameron LNG phase 1 schedule

LNG contractor McDermott International said the production from the final train of the Cameron LNG project in Hackberry, Louisiana, is set to start production in the second quarter of 2020. 

McDermott reaffirmed its previously disclosed schedule.

Sempra Energy kicked off production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the first liquefaction train at the Cameron LNG facility.

Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG export project includes the first three liquefaction trains that will enable the export of approximately 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG, or approximately 1.7 billion cubic feet per day.

Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total, Mitsui & Co., and Japan LNG Investment, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK). Sempra Energy indirectly owns 50.2 percent of Cameron LNG.
