Chart Industries (Chart) will supply air-cooled heat exchangers, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, and cold boxes for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development project in Jefferson County, Texas. Chart previously supplied equipment for Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 and will continue its involvement with Phase 2, providing key technology to support the facility’s expansion and ensure reliable, efficient operations.
The Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development project is strategically positioned to help meet global energy demand and has attracted strong interest from prospective liquefied natural gas (LNG) buyers. In July 2025, Sempra Infrastructure signed a definitive 20-year sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with JERA Co. Inc. for 1.5 MTPA of LNG offtake. In August, Sempra Infrastructure expanded its strategic alliance with ConocoPhillips with a 20-year SPA for 4 MTPA of LNG offtake from the proposed project. Future phases are also in the early development stage.
Bechtel has been selected to deliver the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 facility. Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 is expected to include two liquefaction trains capable of producing approximately 13 MTPA of LNG, which could increase the total liquefaction capacity of the Port Arthur LNG facility from approximately 13 MTPA for Phase 1 to up to approximately 26 MTPA. Port Arthur LNG Phase 1, which is currently under construction, is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2027 and 2028 for trains 1 and 2, respectively.
