As of July 31, 2025, Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, and JERA announced a 20-year sale and purchase agreement for the supply of 1.5 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of liquified natural gas (LNG) offtake from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development project in Jefferson County, Texas. [1] This agreement marks a step beyond the non-binding heads of agreement signed in June 2025. The proposed Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is under active development, with future phases in the early development stage. The project has received all its main permits. It is expected to include two liquefaction trains capable of producing about 13 Mtpa of LNG, which could increase the total liquefaction capacity of the Port Arthur facility from 13 to 26 Mtpa for Phase 1. The project received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September 2023. In July 2024, Sempra announced that Bechtel had been selected for a fixed-price engineering, procurement, and construction contract for the project. The project also received authorization in May 2025 from the US Department of Energy to export US LNG to countries that do not have a free-trade agreement with the US. The project still requires completion of commercial agreements, securing more necessary permits, obtaining financing, and reaching a final investment decision.
