More jobs, more prosperity
The Liquefaction Project (Trains 1-3) and the proposed Expansion Project represent a significant investment in U.S. energy infrastructure that has created jobs and bolstered the economy. Some of the benefits already realized have included:
Local & Global Economic Benefits:
- Export of approximately $7 billion of LNG per year
- Design, engineering, procurement, and construction of the approximately $10 billion LNG liquefaction project resulted in the creation of approximately 11,000 on-site jobs at peak construction for Trains 1-3
- 265 full-time jobs in Louisiana and approximately 45 jobs at the headquarters in Houston, Texas
Improving Economic Security:
- Invested approximately $10 billion in new facilities, equipment and labor, for the construction of Trains 1-3
- Additional investments will be made with the Expansion Project which will include:
- the creation of approximately 1,500 on-site engineering and construction jobs on average
- additional jobs off-site to support construction activities
- an estimated total economic impact resulting from construction of $2.2 billion
- Nationally, LNG exports have the potential to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic development and new tax revenue
LNG Export for A Cleaner World:
- Cameron LNG is capable of exporting roughly 675 TBtu of LNG. This is enough natural gas to run approximately 10 large power generation stations for a year.
Over the course of the 5-year construction phase of Trains 1-3, some of our most notable statistics include:
- 240,00 cubic yards of concrete
- 56,372 tons of steel erected
- 11,980,323 linear feet of cable installed
- 1,346,665 linear feet of piping installed
