    -- Launched construction in August 2021 due to historic market demand
       and robust financial support for the project.

       including KZJV, Baker Hughes, UOP Honeywell and CB&I.

"In today's global market, execution and speed matter, and Venture Global is 
uniquely positioned to quickly deliver US LNG capacity to meet the world's 
growing demand for energy," said Mike Sabel, CEO of Venture Global. "With that 
in mind-and building on the successful record of 29 months from FID to first 
LNG production at Calcasieu Pass- our company has moved forward with an 
expedited schedule for Plaquemines. While we conclude the project financing 
process, we have taken a number of steps to accelerate our project, including
