Golden Pass LNG Terminal LLC (Golden Pass LNG) is a joint venture between QatarEnergy (70%) and ExxonMobil (30%), developing an LNG export facility at the existing terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas.
The project adds three liquefaction trains to the prior import and regasification infrastructure, with a combined capacity of approximately 18 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). A final investment decision exceeding $10 billion was announced in February 2019.
In March 2026, the facility achieved first LNG production from Train 1, marking the start of sustained liquefaction operations. Full commercial exports are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with the first cargo to follow.
Also known as GPLNG.

First US LNG export cargo loaded on a 174,000 m³ carrier; marks move toward full commercial exports. Project >$10bn, 18 Mtpa capacity; first train produced 30 Mar 2026.
First LNG produced from Train 1 of the 18 mtpa Sabine Pass project, enabling sustained liquefaction and paving way for first cargo and full exports beginning Q2 2026.
Plans to boost LNG output to 160 mtpa, bring first NFE train online mid next year, start major ethane crackers in early 2027, and expand petrochemical capacity with CPChem.
Al‑Kaabi urged continued energy investment, said $70–80/bbl is needed to sustain output, flagged US LNG start‑up this year and North Field East coming mid‑2026.
