Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, has announced a 20-year sales and purchase agreement with Petrobras, under which Sempra Infrastructure will supply approximately 0.8 MPTA of liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG will be sourced from Sempra Infrastructure’s contracted liquefaction capacity at the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, currently under construction in Jefferson County, Texas.
“We are pleased to welcome Petrobras as the first South American company in our LNG customer portfolio, marking an important milestone for Sempra Infrastructure’s growing LNG business,” said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure.
Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 is strategically positioned to help meet global energy demand and reached a positive final investment decision in September 2025. The project will include two liquefaction trains capable of producing approximately 13 MPTA of LNG, which will 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 also currently under construction, is expected to achieve commercial operations at or near the end of 2027 and in 2028 for trains 1 and 2, respectively, and Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2030 and 2031 for trains 3 and 4, respectively. Future phases are also in the early development stage.
