The U.S. has become the first country to export 10 million metric tonnes (mmt) of liquefied natural gas in a single month, according to preliminary data from financial firm LSEG.
The U.S. exported a record 10.1 mmt of the liquid fuel in October, up from a revised figure of 9.1 mmt in September, LSEG data showed.
Already the world’s largest LNG exporter, the U.S. has been ramping up sales with four record-setting months in 2025. The surge was led by the start-up of Venture Global’s (VG.N), opens new tab Plaquemines export plant and the ramp-up of Cheniere’s (LNG.N), opens new tab Corpus Christi Stage 3 project, the data showed.
The Plaquemines facility, located in Louisiana, sold 2.2 mmt last month, surpassing its previous high of 1.6 mmt in September, the data showed.
Cheniere’s Corpus Christi export facility exported 1.6 mmt, also a record for the plant. With Sabine Pass exporting 2.6 mmt in October, the company sold a combined 4.2 mmt, or 42% of all of the LNG exported by the U.S.
When completed, the Corpus Christi Stage 3 operation will allow Cheniere to export more than 50 million metric tonnes per year starting in 2026, CEO Jack Fusco said in a recent earnings call.
Venture Global and Cheniere were responsible for 72% of the country’s total exports in October, LSEG data showed.
