“A milestone moment has arrived at Golden Pass LNG with the arrival of the LNG cargo ship AL QA’IYYAH.

‘Golden Pass looks forward to sending off our first export cargo, bringing Texas energy to power the world,’ said a spokesman for Golden Pass LNG.

Golden Pass is a joint venture between QatarEnergy (QATPE.UL) and Exxon Mobil. It’ll be one of the largest U.S. LNG export plants with total capacity of more than 18 million metric tons per year, once fully operational.

The project is the latest U.S. LNG facility to begin production after starting up late last month, according to Reuters, with its first liquefaction train expected to produce about 6 million tons per year at full capacity.”
