Pending final regulatory approvals, Calcasieu Pass will have an export capacity of ten million (10,000,000) metric tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas and will accommodate ocean-going vessels with an LNG carrying capacity of up to 185,000 cubic metres. Also included on the project site will be two full containment LNG storage units. Calcasieu Pass is expected to be a US$4 – US$4.5 B project.
