Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (CQP) is a Houston-based midstream operator specializing in the liquefaction and export of natural gas. The company owns the Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Louisiana, one of the largest liquefaction facilities in the world, and operates the Creole Trail Pipeline to transport gas to the terminal from domestic interstate networks.
The business model primarily relies on long-term, take-or-pay liquefaction agreements that generate stable cash flows by charging customers fixed fees regardless of commodity price fluctuations. As an LNG exporter, CQP bridges the price gap between low-cost North American shale gas and higher-priced international energy markets, particularly in Europe and Asia.
