Summary
FERC approved introducing fuel gas and hot oil into Midscale Train 7 at Cheniere's Corpus Christi LNG plant, a key commissioning step for the final train of the Stage 3 expansion. This moves the project closer to commercial operations, adding over 10 million tons per annum of capacity. The approval is specific to Train 7 and does not authorize broader construction or hazardous fluid introduction elsewhere. With the expansion nearing completion, attention turns to the timeline for first LNG production and the impact on Cheniere's export volumes.
