Venture Global is a major U.S. supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Earlier this month, it received federal regulatory approval to introduce natural gas into its Plaquemines export plant in Louisiana, a key step towards starting production of liquefied gas at the facility. Once fully operational, the Plaquemines plant will elevate Venture Global to the position of the second-largest LNG producer in the U.S., with an export capacity exceeding 30 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) from its Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines facilities, both located in Louisiana.

Largest IPO this year

If successful, the company's planned $3 billion IPO would rank among the largest global listings this year, based on data compiled by LSEG. Notable recent IPOs include Lineage Logistics' $4.44 billion offering in New York in July and Hyundai Motor India's $3.33 billion IPO in Mumbai last month, both of which are among the few listings to surpass the $3 billion mark this year. Venture Global did not respond to a request for comment, and Goldman Sachs declined to comment on the matter.
