What is the total capital expenditure required for the project and how will it be financed?

Based on the excerpt you provided, the press release from Business Wire only mentions that Coastal Bend LNG has selected ConocoPhillips’ Optimized Cascade® Process for its planned liquefaction and export facility. The announcement specifies the technology choice and briefly describes the scope of the project (multiple liquefaction trains, cogeneration, storage tanks, and export infrastructure), but it does not contain any details about:

  1. The total capital expenditure (CAPEX) required to build the facility, nor
  2. The financing structure that will be used to fund that expenditure (e.g., equity, debt, project financing, government incentives, etc.).

What you can do next

  • Check the full press release (often the Business Wire article will have a link to the complete announcement).
  • Look for a supplementary filing (e.g., an SEC Form 8‑K, S‑1, or a corporate investor presentation) that typically includes project‑level financial details.
  • Visit the company’s website (Coastal Bend LNG or ConocoPhillips) for an investor‑relations page or newsroom where they may publish a “Fact Sheet” or “Project Overview” that includes CAPEX and financing information.
  • Search for related news (e.g., from industry journals, trade publications, or financial news wires) that might have reported on the financing arrangements once they were announced.

If you obtain a more detailed source that includes the CAPEX figure and financing plan, feel free to share it and I can provide a concise summary or analysis of that information.
