Venture Global began commercial operations on October 31, 2026, at the first phase of Plaquemines LNG, its second liquefied natural gas export project. The company also began selling U.S. LNG to the phase’s long-term customers.

The commercial start came just over 53 months after the project’s final investment decision. Venture Global said the project is among the fastest greenfield LNG developments ever completed.

The first cargo after commercial operations began departed on November 1 at 3:26 a.m. Shell lifted the shipment.

Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel said the milestone reflected the work of the company’s team and collaboration with regulators and supply-chain partners. He said those efforts helped deliver the project safely and on schedule.

The company said it plans to supply long-term customers with U.S. LNG. Venture Global says it has more than 100 million tonnes a year of capacity in production, construction or development.
