Cheniere's regasification terminal network provides a platform for participation in the full LNG value chain. Cheniere plans to leverage its platform by pursuing related LNG business opportunities both upstream and downstream of the terminals.

Cheniere is considering various midstream opportunities that will enhance its logistical services. Cheniere plans to maximize liquidity for its terminals by constructing natural gas pipelines that interconnect its terminals with the U.S. natural gas pipeline grid. Cheniere formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Cheniere Pipeline Company, which contracted for engineering, procurement, construction, and construction management with Willbros Engineers, Inc. for a pipeline interconnecting the Sabine Pass LNG terminal with downstream infrastructure. Cheniere Pipeline has also permitted 2.6 Bcf/d of pipeline take away capacity from the Corpus Christi LNG terminal and has initiated permitting for 3.3 Bcf/d of pipeline take away capacity from the Creole Trail LNG terminal.

Cheniere also plans to transport LNG through its interest in J & S Cheniere. J & S Cheniere chartered an LNG tanker from August 2003 to August 2005 that transported 14 LNG cargoes. J & S Cheniere purchased LNG from international sellers and delivered it and sold it to the U.S. market. J & S Cheniere has also entered into time charters for two new-build LNG tankers, which have been delivered to Cheniere.

To complement its asset infrastructure, Cheniere is developing a marketing company. Cheniere is currently active in oil and natural gas exploration and development and foresees evaluating possible natural gas reserves development opportunities related to commercialization of its terminal network.
