15-Year Agreement with Canadian Company Reinforces Cheniere’s Leadership in the Global Natural Gas Market and Enables Expansion of the Sabine Pass Facility.
Cheniere Energy, the American giant in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector, has just taken another strategic step to ensure its growth for the coming decades. The company has signed a 15-year natural gas supply contract with a subsidiary of Canadian Natural Resources Limited, set to begin in 2030.
The agreement calls for the daily delivery of 140,000 MMBtu of gas, a volume sufficient to generate approximately 0.85 million tons of LNG per year.
The negotiation, which still depends on the final decision regarding investment in the expansion project of the liquefaction facility in Sabine Pass, reinforces Cheniere Energy’s commitment to energy security and the sustainable supply of natural gas on a global scale.

Strategic Expansion to Meet Global Demand for Natural Gas
The signing of this new contract is directly linked to the future expansion of the Sabine Pass terminal in the Gulf of the U.S.
Cheniere’s expectation is to add up to 20 million tons per year to its production capacity through improvements and upgrades to the existing structure.
The gas supply guaranteed by the contract will be destined for Cheniere Marketing, the company’s commercial arm, which will be responsible for the export of LNG.
According to the terms, the price of the gas will be indexed to the Asian Platts Japan Korea Marker (JKM), with adjustments accounting for transportation and liquefaction costs.
This type of contract, called IPM (Integrated Production Marketing), offers more predictability to the value chain and strengthens Cheniere’s position in the long-term supply of natural gas.
Financial Results: Revenues Up, Despite Earnings Per Share Below Expectations
In the first quarter of 2025, Cheniere Energy reported mixed financial results. Earnings per share (EPS) were US$ 1.57, below market expectations of US$ 2.72. On the other hand, revenue exceeded projections: it was US$ 5.44 billion, compared to the estimated US$ 4.69 billion.
The company’s net income was approximately US$ 350 million for the period, and the consolidated adjusted EBITDA reached US$ 1.9 billion.
Even with EPS results falling short of expectations, the company reaffirmed its adjusted EBITDA forecast between US$ 6.5 billion and US$ 7.0 billion for the year, along with a distributable cash flow between US$ 4.1 billion and US$ 4.6 billion.
Another highlight of the quarter was the progress of the Corpus Christi Stage Three project. Construction achieved substantial completion of the first liquefaction train ahead of schedule and within budget, a significant accomplishment in the energy sector.
This advancement demonstrates Cheniere’s focus on expanding its infrastructure to meet the growing international demand for natural gas with a lower environmental impact.
With over 90% of its volumes contracted through long-term agreements, the company can maintain financial and operational stability even in the face of market fluctuations.
Commitment to Shareholders and Solidarity in the Market
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Cheniere Energy not only leads LNG exports in the United States but also demonstrates a strong commitment to its investors.
The company maintains a share buyback program, with an remaining authorization of US$ 3.5 billion, and has shown consistent dividend growth of around 15% over the past year.
According to data from the InvestingPro platform, the company maintains strong financial indicators, including leveraged free cash flow of US$ 3.17 billion over the last twelve months and a current ratio of 1.19. These figures support its capacity for sustainable investment and growth.
Cheniere Energy follows a clear strategy: to ensure the responsible, safe, and affordable supply of natural gas to global markets.
The new agreement with the Canadian subsidiary reinforces this mission and positions the company as one of the key players in the global energy transition.
“This long-term Integrated Production Marketing (IPM) contract will provide Cheniere Marketing, LLC with approximately 0.85 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year, which the company will then market.”
With a robust liquefaction platform, strategic operations on the Gulf Coast, and a forward-looking vision, Cheniere Energy continues to shape the global natural gas market, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and returns for investors.
