Cheniere Energy says its Sabine Pass Liquefaction operation and pipeline assets were not heavily damaged by Hurricane Laura.
After a comprehensive assessment, the company has started to restart LNG production at Sabine Pass. The company also announced a pledge of $1 million to local groups supporting hurricane relief efforts.
“Most importantly, all of our employees are safe and accounted for. After the storm, we carefully assessed our facility and discovered no significant damage, and we have begun executing startup plans to safely resume operations,” said Jack Fusco, President and CEO of Cheniere.
Bechtel, Cheniere’s EPC contractor, returned this week to Sabine Pass to resume work constructing Train 6 and on the Third Berth Project.
Cheniere conducted initial assessments of impact from Hurricane Laura at the Sabine Pass facility by air, boat, and by technical and third-party experts. Prior to the storm, Cheniere activated its emergency office location in Dallas to support essential functions.
