Cheniere Energy, Inc. is developing a platform of three, 100%-owned, onshore liquefied natural gas, or LNG, receiving terminals along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The three terminals will have an aggregate send-out capacity of 9.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Cheniere plans to leverage its terminal platform by pursuing related LNG business opportunities both upstream and downstream of the terminals.

Cheniere Marketing also expects to enter into U.S. natural gas purchase and sale transactions as part of its marketing activities. Cheniere is also the founder of and holds a 30% limited partner interest in a fourth LNG receiving terminal project, participates in an LNG shipping venture, and operates an oil and gas exploration company in the shallow waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Cheniere is based in Houston, Texas, with offices in Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, and Paris, France. The company?s common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol: LNG.
