Midstream expansions at Wapiti, Simonette, and Pipestone signal that the Montney remains one of North America’s most durable growth basins, driven by liquids-rich economics and rising LNG-linked demand. Even with weak gas prices, producers are drilling and contracting capacity early — shifting the constraint from supply to infrastructure as the basin prepares for sustained growth through 2026 and beyond.
Sempra has quietly assembled one of the most balanced LNG portfolios on the U.S. Gulf Coast — one that aligns directly with how LNG is being financed, built, and contracted in the next decade.
Venture Global has assembled one of the largest LNG development portfolios in the world — not through legacy infrastructure or national backing, but through an aggressive, modular, and execution-focused development strategy that has redefined how U.S. LNG projects are built.
Over the past decade, the United States has transformed from a marginal LNG importer into the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. At the center of that transformation stands Cheniere Energy — the company that not only launched U.S. LNG exports but continues to define how each new wave of LNG development unfolds.
Located on the Brownsville Ship Channel in South Texas, Rio Grande LNG is strategically positioned to receive natural gas from some of North America’s most prolific producing regions — particularly the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale — and deliver that supply to global markets.
The United States continues to expand its position as a global LNG supply leader, driven by strong international demand, long-term offtake agreements, and growing geopolitical focus on energy security. The following overview highlights major U.S. LNG export projects, summarizing their locations, current development status, and the companies leading investment across the Gulf Coast, East Coast, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
According to recent analysis from Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR), the real risk to the LNG growth narrative isn’t steel in the ground. It’s confidence in long-term natural gas supply, particularly beyond the early 2030s.
Argent LNG, LLC, a privately owned company, revealed plans to develop the Argent LNG Project, a massive 25 million-tons-per-annum (MTPA) liquefied natural gas export terminal in Port Fourchon, Lafourche Parish. If built, Argent LNG would become one of the largest LNG export facilities in the United States, rivaling current megaprojects like Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, and Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG.
If all the announced LNG export projects in North America get built — and that’s still a big if — our continent’s LNG export capacity is on track to more than double over the next five years.
State and local officials joined Woodside Energy this week to break ground on Louisiana LNG, a $17.5 billion liquefied natural gas export facility in Calcasieu Parish. The project represents the largest foreign direct investment in Louisiana’s history and underscores the Gulf Coast’s position as the epicenter of U.S. LNG exports.
