Worley has confirmed it is progressing toward major construction activities at Venture Global’s CP2 LNG terminal in Louisiana, following the successful delivery of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) planning services under a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP). The contract will convert to a Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP) once Venture Global reaches a Final Investment Decision (FID).

According to the Australian engineering firm, Phase 1 engineering is largely complete, with Phase 2 engineering services now underway. Worley expects to begin the bulk of its construction scope once initial on-site civil works conclude, which is currently scheduled for the end of 2026.
“We value our partnership with Venture Global on the CP2 LNG project,” said Chris Ashton, CEO of Worley. “This project underscores our commitment to delivering complex energy infrastructure that supports global energy security. As one of the largest LNG developments underway globally, we’re proud to contribute our extensive LNG expertise and global delivery capabilities.”
Worley began early site mobilization in early June, deploying contractors and personnel as part of Phase 1 execution. The CP2 project had experienced delays due to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval process. Although authorization was initially granted in June 2024, it was reinstated in May 2025, enabling the project to resume momentum.
The CP2 LNG facility, located adjacent to Venture Global’s existing Calcasieu Pass plant in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, is expected to have an export capacity of over 20 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). The facility will include 36 liquefaction trains arranged in 18 blocks, each with a capacity of 0.626 mtpa. Additionally, the site will feature four 200,000-cubic-meter full-containment LNG storage tanks and two marine loading berths.
Supporting infrastructure includes the CP Express pipeline, which will link the terminal to the regional natural gas pipeline network in East Texas and Southwest Louisiana.
To advance procurement and engineering activities, Venture Global recently secured a $3 billion loan facility from a consortium of 19 banks.
First LNG exports from CP2 are targeted for Q3 2027.
