Description: CQP Cheniere Energy Partners December 17, 2025
Cheniere Energy Partners L.P. (CQP) is a U.S.-based master-limited partnership that owns and operates the Sabine Pass LNG export terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, along with a dedicated natural-gas supply pipeline linking the terminal to the broader interstate pipeline network. Established in 2003 as a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc., the firm sells liquefied natural gas to integrated energy firms, utilities, and traders both domestically and abroad.
Key operational metrics: the Sabine Pass facility has a nominal liquefaction capacity of ~15 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and reported an adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion in 2023, reflecting a utilization rate of roughly 85 % amid a tight global LNG market. The business is heavily driven by long-term take-or-pay contracts that lock in volume commitments, while spot-price exposure ties earnings to the Henry Hub gas curve and Asian LNG price differentials. A primary sector catalyst is the accelerating demand for low-carbon fuel in Asia, which is expected to raise global LNG consumption by 2–3 % annually through 2030, supporting higher freight rates and contract values for exporters like CQP.
