Project Overview The Cheniere Corpus Christi Liquefaction (CCL) Project is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility located on the north shore of Corpus Christi Bay in Gregory, Texas. The 1,000+ acre facility began bulk early works in July 2015 as the first greenfield export facility in the United States. Bechtel has successfully and safely completed construction; it now consists of three operating trains with an LNG production capacity of approximately 15 million tons per year (MTPA), three LNG storage tanks with a combined capacity of 480,000 cubic meters of LNG, two jetty superstructures that can accommodate the world’s largest vessels, and dozens of associated buildings and utilities. The CCL Project Stage 3 (CCL3) is a new phase at the existing CCL facility and will consist of seven midscale liquefaction trains with an LNG production capacity of approximately 10 MTPA, plus associated infrastructure, including utilities. CCL3 will perform all this work predominantly on a direct‑hire basis with support from only a few specialty and service subcontractors.
