About Cheniere Energy, Inc.
Cheniere Energy, Inc., an energy infrastructure company, primarily engages in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) related businesses in the United States.

It also owns and operates the Creole Trail pipeline, a 94-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal with several large interstate and intrastate pipelines; and the Corpus Christi pipeline, a 21-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG terminal with interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines.

The midstream & LNG industry
Midstream companies own the infrastructure between the wellhead and the customer — pipelines, gathering and processing plants, storage, and export terminals. Most earn fees on volumes moved under long-term contracts, so their cash flow is steadier than the producers they serve, and much of it is paid out as high dividends or distributions (several names here are partnerships with special tax treatment). Cheniere (LNG) is the standout business model: it liquefies US natural gas and ships it abroad under decade-long contracts — a toll road on the global gas trade. The read here is contract quality and payout coverage, not the daily oil price: these are income vehicles first, commodity plays second. Cheniere is the largest US LNG exporter, selling liquefaction capacity from Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi under contracts that run 15–20 years.
