LNG Regasification Capacity measures the maximum stated natural-gas send-out capability of an LNG import and regasification terminal.

Cheniere reported approximately 4 Bcf per day of regasification capacity in its 2025 disclosures.

Regasification runs in the opposite physical direction from liquefaction

Liquefaction converts pipeline gas into LNG for export. Regasification converts LNG back into pipeline gas for downstream delivery.

That makes this metric economically distinct from LNG Total Production Capacity, even though both describe LNG infrastructure.

Four Bcf per day is a capability ceiling, not observed throughput

Actual send-out depends on LNG receipts, downstream demand, pipeline availability, operating conditions, and terminal utilization.

The 4 Bcf/day figure therefore cannot be treated as actual gas volume or revenue-generating activity.

Avoid unit conversion that creates false comparability

Liquefaction capacity is commonly stated in mtpa while regasification capacity is often stated in Bcf/day.

A physical conversion is possible only with composition and energy-content assumptions and still would not make import capacity equivalent to export production capacity.

Connect liquefaction capacity, cargo timing, long-term contract coverage, Henry Hub-linked fee structure, marketing volumes, and remaining contracted revenue across an LNG export platform.

Where this concept fits

Fee structure and remaining contract valueCurrent relationship
Fixed liquefaction fees provide capacity-linked contractual economics, variable fees primarily track Henry Hub-linked feedgas costs, and remaining fixed and variable fee revenue show the scale of future contractual consideration under Cheniere's stated assumptions. Regasification capacity remains a separate import-terminal capability.

Capacity and contract coverage
Total and under-construction liquefaction capacity show the physical production envelope, while contracted-production percentage and weighted-average contract life show how much anticipated output is covered by long-duration customer agreements.

Physical loading, delivery, and revenue recognition
Loaded, in-transit, and recognized volumes bridge physical cargo activity to accounting timing, while long-term, short-term, and third-party procured volumes and revenues separate owned-project contract sales from marketing and externally sourced LNG.
