· Oil & Gas · United States

Venture Global has achieved commercial operations at Phase 1 of its LNG project in Louisiana, with Shell lifting the facility's first cargo. The milestone moves the project from commissioning into commercial service, adding new US liquefaction capacity to global supply. Shell's role in lifting the inaugural cargo ties a major trading house to the startup of the export facility.

Why it matters：Each new US liquefaction train entering service shifts global LNG supply balances and gives buyers an additional non-traditional source as demand grows.
