Sempra LNG plans to build Port Arthur LNG along the Port Arthur Ship Canal in Texas - an entryway from the Gulf of Mexico. The site is part of nearly 2,800 acres of land owned by Sempra Energy, and is about 85 miles east of Houston and 42 miles southwest of another LNG facility the company plans to build, Cameron LNG in Louisiana.

Port Arthur LNG would be capable of delivering between 1.5 and 3 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day of natural gas.

The Port Arthur LNG project would include two unloading docks for ships and three to six full containment storage tanks and associated equipment in order to transform the LNG back to its gaseous state.

On Feb. 28, 2005, Port Arthur LNG filed for its permits with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. On April 28, 2006, FERC staff issued its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for Port Arthur LNG.

On June 15, 2006, FERC granted Sempra the approval to site, construct and operate the Port Arthur LNG terminal.

Construction of the more than $800 million Port Arthur LNG project could begin as early as 2007, provided commercial arrangements are finalized.
