Summary
UAE's Mubadala, via its Caturus joint venture with Kimmeridge, plans to nearly double the capacity of the Commonwealth LNG export project in Louisiana. The expansion adds five liquefaction trains with a combined 7.75 mtpa capacity, marking a significant investment by the sovereign wealth fund into US gas export infrastructure.
Strategic Implication
This investment signals Mubadala's strategy to build a global LNG portfolio, securing long-term gas market share for the UAE outside of its domestic production.
