Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Located in southeast Texas, the state's Golden Triangle region encompasses the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange. The region holds a wealth of petrochemical and petroleum refining facilities as well as a growing number of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities.
With a total investment value of more than $30 billion, projects under construction in the region cover the Oil & Gas Production, Chemical Processing, Power and other industries.

Sempra Energy (NYSE:SRE) (San Diego, California) is constructing trains 1 and 2 of its Port Arthur LNG Plant in Jefferson County. Located on 2,900 acres at Sempra's LNG export terminal, each LNG train will produce 6.5 million metric tons per year for export. Completion of both trains is planned for mid-2027.
However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has removed a Texas emissions permit for Sempra's LNG export terminal, Reuters reported Wednesday. The court found that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) failed to impose the same emissions limits on the Port Arthur plant as on other projects, Reuters said. The court action sends the Port Arthur LNG permit application back to the TCEQ for new evaluation.

Completion is planned for 2024 and 2025. For more information on these projects, click here.
The most substantial Chemical Processing Industry project under construction in the region is the Beaumont Blue Ammonia Unit Addition (Project Deep Blue) in Nederland from OCI NV (Netherlands). The project comprises a 1.1 million-ton-per-year blue ammonia production unit along with carbon capture units. Completion is planned for the first quarter of 2025.
