Old habits die hard when it comes to the preferred method of pricing for offtakers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as most buyers of the super-chilled fuel continue to opt for oil-linked long-term contracts.

Cheniere Energy Partners LP on Tuesday said it has secured another liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply contract that may help to advance building the sixth train at the Sabine Pass export facility in Cameron Parish, LA.

The first commissioning cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is on its way from Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Corpus Christi facility in South Texas, marking the first gas exports from the state, as well as the first from a Lower 48 greenfield project.

Federal regulators have given the all clear to a subsidiary of Houston-based Kinder Morgan Inc. to start service on several facilities related to its Sabine Pass Expansion Project in Louisiana, one day after the midstream company asked for approval to put the remaining project facilities into service.

International Swiss trading firm Vitol Group, one of the largest energy traders in the world, has stepped forward as a customer for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the 25% share in the LNG Canada project owned by Malaysia’s state-owned Petronas.

The first train at Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Corpus Christi natural gas export facility in South Texas began producing the super-chilled fuel early Wednesday morning, spokesman Ray Fohr told NGI.

Less than two months after signing a 15-year natural gas export deal with Swiss trader Vitol Inc., Cheniere Energy Inc. has secured another long-term sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Polish state-owned oil and gas company Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo S.A. (PGNiG), the company announced Thursday.

A pair of FERC orders Thursday brought Cheniere Energy Inc. a step closer to starting up trains at its Corpus Christi and Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in the Gulf Coast.

FERC authorized service to commence on the first phase of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC’s (NGPL) Gulf Coast Southbound Expansion Project.
