LOW-COST NATURAL GAS.
Driftwood LNG
Driftwood LNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility being constructed on a 1,200 acre site on the Calcasieu River west bank, south of Lake Charles, Louisiana in the U.S. Gulf Coast. Driftwood LNG is designed for a total of ~27.6 mtpa of export, five plants, 20 trains, three storage tanks and three berths.
Additional site work in 2023 will significantly advance piling, foundations and construction of marine offloading facilities. Once complete, phase one will have two LNG plants and 11 mtpa of export capacity. First LNG production is expected in late 2026/early 2027, with commercial operations following.

Driftwood LNG will create “6,500 construction jobs and ~400 operational jobs. We are committed to being a good neighbor in our community and operating safely, securely and responsibly.
