Sempra Infrastructure and EQT Announce Long-Term LNG Supply Agreement from Port Arthur LNG Phase 2
Sempra Infrastructure (NYSE: SRE) has signed a significant 20-year LNG supply agreement with EQT Corporation for 2 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Texas. The agreement follows recent similar deals with JERA (1.5 Mtpa) and ConocoPhillips (4 Mtpa).
The Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development has secured all major permits and selected Bechtel for engineering and construction. The project will add two liquefaction trains with 13 Mtpa capacity, potentially doubling the facility's total capacity to 26 Mtpa. Phase 1 is under construction with expected commercial operations in 2027-2028, while Phase 2's final investment decision is targeted for 2025.

Insights
Sempra secures another major customer for Port Arthur LNG Phase 2, bringing total committed capacity to 7.5 Mtpa of the planned 13 Mtpa facility.
Sempra Infrastructure has secured EQT Corporation as the third major customer for its Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, with a 20-year agreement for
This agreement strengthens Sempra's position as it approaches a final investment decision (FID) on Phase 2 expected later in 2025. The project has already secured all major regulatory approvals, including FERC authorization and DOE export permits for non-free trade agreement countries. Engineering and procurement partner Bechtel is also in place, removing another key hurdle before FID.
The Henry Hub-indexed pricing structure ties the economics of this agreement to U.S. domestic natural gas prices rather than international oil benchmarks, potentially providing more stable revenue visibility for both parties. For EQT, America's largest natural gas producer, this represents significant progress in their strategy to expand into the LNG export market and secure long-term demand for their Appalachian production.

The Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 development project is strategically positioned to help meet global energy demand and has attracted strong interest from prospective LNG buyers. In July 2025, Sempra Infrastructure signed a definitive 20-year SPA with JERA Co., Inc. for 1.5 Mtpa of LNG offtake. Earlier this month, 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.
In September 2023, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted project approval, followed by an export authorization from the
Further advancing the project, Sempra Infrastructure also previously announced that Bechtel had been selected to deliver the engineering, procurement and construction of the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 facility. With continued momentum in the project's development, Sempra Infrastructure continues to target making a final investment decision on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in 2025.
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.
The development of the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project remains subject to various risks and uncertainties, including completing the required commercial agreements, securing and/or maintaining all necessary permits, obtaining financing and reaching a final investment decision, among other factors.
