Transaction Expected to Complete
Commercialization of Corpus Christi Stage III Project
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American: LNG) announced today that its subsidiary, Cheniere Corpus
Christi Liquefaction Stage III, LLC (“CCL Stage III”), has amended
the long-term Integrated Production Marketing (“IPM”) gas supply
agreement signed in 2019 with EOG Resources, Inc. (“EOG”) (NYSE:
EOG), extending the term and tripling the volume of LNG associated
with the natural gas supply under this long-term IPM
transaction.
Under the amended IPM transaction, EOG has agreed to sell
420,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day to CCL Stage III for a period
of 15 years, with one third of the supply targeted to commence upon
the completion of each of Trains 1, 4 and 5 of the Corpus Christi
Stage III project. The LNG associated with this gas supply, or
approximately 2.55 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”), will be owned
and marketed by Cheniere, and EOG will receive a price based on the
Platts Japan Korea Marker (“JKM”) for this gas.
In addition, the previously executed gas supply agreement, under
which EOG will sell 300,000 MMBtu per day to CCL Stage III at a
price indexed to Henry Hub, has been extended to 15 years. As a
result, EOG will supply a total of 720,000 MMBtu of natural gas per
day to CCL Stage III under the amended agreements for a 15-year
period expected to commence upon start-up of the Corpus Christi
Stage III project.
EOG will continue to sell 140,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day
to Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, which commenced in 2020, until
the commencement of the amended long-term agreements. The LNG
associated with this gas supply, or approximately 0.85 mtpa, is
owned and marketed by Cheniere, and EOG receives a price based on
JKM for this gas.
“We are pleased to build upon the mutually beneficial long-term
agreements we signed in 2019 with EOG, one of the largest
independent natural gas producers in the United States. The
extension and increase of our original IPM transaction further
leverages our infrastructure platform, capabilities, and operations
in Corpus Christi,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “This transaction is expected to provide the
remaining commercial support needed to move forward with Corpus
Christi Stage III, and we are focused on completing the outstanding
steps required in order to reach FID this year.”
The CCL Stage III project is being developed to include seven
midscale liquefaction trains with a total expected nominal
production capacity of over 10 mtpa.
