Venture Global Projects and Production Capacity
Venture Global, with over 100 million tons of capacity in production, construction, or development, has been producing LNG from its first facility since 2022. The company has assets in the LNG supply chain, including LNG production, natural gas transportation, shipping, and regasification. The company's initial projects include the Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG, and CP2 LNG projects located in Louisiana alongside the Gulf of Mexico.

These agreements reflect the growing global market demand for LNG from the United States and will help meet the energy needs of various countries in the future.
