Description: CQP Cheniere Energy Partners
Cheniere Energy Partners L.P. (CQP) is a publicly-listed master limited partnership that supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG) to integrated energy firms, utilities, and commodity traders both domestically and abroad. The partnership’s core asset is the Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, which it owns and operates through subsidiaries.
Sabine Pass is a 15 million-tonnes-per-annum (MTPA) liquefaction facility-the largest single-train LNG export plant in the United States-and is connected to the broader U.S. pipeline network via a dedicated natural-gas supply pipeline that links to major interstate systems such as the Gulf Coast Loop and the Henry Hub corridor.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, CQP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc., and trades under the GICS sub-industry “Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation.” As of the latest filing (Q2 2024), the partnership reported adjusted EBITDA of roughly $1.2 billion and a net cash flow conversion of 85 %, reflecting strong operating leverage in a period of elevated spot LNG pricing.
Key economic drivers for CQP include: (1) the price differential between Henry Hub natural-gas spot rates and Asian LNG contracts, which currently exceeds $10 /MMBtu; (2) the continued expansion of long-term offtake agreements that lock in multi-year pricing and mitigate demand-side volatility; and (3) U.S. policy support for LNG exports, which has accelerated pipeline capacity upgrades feeding Sabine Pass.
