Resilience. Residents of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, US, have come to know the full measure of the term as they continue to rebound from taking the brunt of two 2020 hurricanes that coincided with a global pandemic and sharp downturn in the energy industry so vital to their economic wellbeing.

Commonwealth LNG’s 8.4 million tpy export terminal project under development at the mouth of the Calcasieu Ship Channel near Cameron was also impacted by these events. However, Commonwealth now looks to not only aid in the region’s ongoing recovery, but also expand Southwest Louisiana’s prominence as a US leader in exporting clean and affordable LNG to all corners of the world.

Leading the development

The project’s leadership team is committed to building a world-class LNG facility by staying relentlessly focused on managing risk and lowering capital cost.
