Company Report

Cheniere Energy Partners Sees a Sharp but Expected Distribution Cut in 2024

Cheniere is well positioned to be the exporter of the incremental liquefied natural gas supplied to the global market over the next few years, particularly as demand ramps up from China. We expect Cheniere to have about 45 million metric tons per year LNG capacity online in 2022, 55 million tons in 2026, and 58 million tons in 2028. We expect the bulk of China's LNG demand growth to be met by U.S. gas supply, given the United States' ability to increase gas and therefore LNG supply significantly.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

At $600-$700 per ton for incremental capacity expansion projects, Cheniere has some of the lowest-cost LNG projects on the global cost curve, well below the U.S. average of $800 per ton and similar targets by Australian LNG producers.

Bears

If China changes its government policy on higher natural gas consumption, this would likely mean a decline in demand for U.S. LNG.
