Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE: LNG) shares enjoyed hefty gains to begin Monday, after the company announced that liquefied natural gas was produced for the first time from the first train of the Company’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 Liquefaction Project. The commissioning process continues, and Cheniere expects substantial completion of Train 1 to be achieved at the end of the first quarter of 2025, over six months ahead of the guaranteed completion date. Upon substantial completion, Bechtel Energy, Inc. will transfer care, custody and control of the completed train to Cheniere.
