About the Company

Caturus

Upstream gas production and LNG export

Caturus integrates upstream natural gas production with LNG export, delivering fuel from U.S. wells to global markets. Its wellhead-to-water model links Texas drilling through Caturus Energy to the Commonwealth LNG export terminal in Cameron, Louisiana, a 9.5 mtpa facility that liquefies gas for international shipment. The company differentiates itself by combining production and export under one strategy and by securing long-term offtake agreements with Glencore, JERA, and PETRONAS to fill capacity. Its goal is to provide low-emission U.S. gas to global customers while expanding LNG capacity as part of the energy transition.
