               Cheniere Energy Reports Third Quarter 2007 Results

     HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2007--Cheniere Energy, Inc. (AMEX:LNG)
reported a net loss of $53.5 million, or $1.14 per share (basic and diluted),
for the third quarter of 2007 compared with a net loss of $33.1 million, or
$0.61 per share (basic and diluted), during the corresponding period in 2006.
Year to date through September 30, 2007, Cheniere reported a loss of $129.1
million, or $2.48 per share (basic and diluted) compared to a net loss of $52.5
million, or $0.97 per share (basic and diluted), for the comparable period 2006.

     During the quarter, progress continued and the construction of the Sabine
Pass LNG receiving terminal and Creole Trail pipeline remains on schedule and on
budget. The Sabine Pass terminal is expected to commence operations in the
second quarter of 2008 with initial send out capacity of 2.6 Bcf/d and storage
capacity of 10.1 Bcf. Construction is also underway to expand the terminal to a
total send out capacity of 4.0 Bcf/d and storage capacity of 16.8 Bcf by second
quarter 2009. Commencement of operations of the 2.0 Bcf/d Creole Trail pipeline
is expected to coincide with the initial start up of the terminal.

     Results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were
primarily impacted by costs associated with the development of the
infrastructure as well as the continued development of the organization in
preparation for operations. The primary reasons for the $20.4 million increase
in the net loss between corresponding quarters in 2006 and 2007 included the
following: general and administrative expenses increasing by $22.9 million
principally related to personnel costs necessary for the expansion of Cheniere's
business; LNG terminal and pipeline development expenses increasing by $7.1
million due to the hiring of employees who will ultimately be operating and
maintaining the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal and the Creole Trail pipeline
and an increase in interest expense of $17.1 million primarily related to the
Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. senior notes. These increases were partially offset by
increased interest income of $9.9 million and by the effect in 2006 of a $15.1
million income tax provision.

     At September 30, 2007, Cheniere had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
of $446.6 million compared to $463.0 million at December 31, 2006. The primary
sources of cash and cash equivalents during the first nine months of 2007 were
the receipt of $203.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of Cheniere Energy
Partners, L.P. ("Cheniere Partners") (AMEX:CQP) common units to the public and
receipt of $391.7 million in net proceeds from a $400 million term loan in May
2007. The primary use of the proceeds from the term loan was to purchase
9,175,595 shares of the Company's common stock at a cost of $325.0 million, as
previously announced. Another significant use of cash was for the construction
of the Creole Trail pipeline, with costs incurred through September 30, 2007 of
$310.6 million. Estimated costs of the Creole Trail pipeline, before financing
costs, are approximately $500 to $550 million.

     At September 30, 2007, Cheniere held restricted cash, cash equivalents and
treasury securities totaling $930.5 million which was comprised of $513.6
million dedicated to the completion of the construction of the Sabine Pass LNG
receiving terminal including the expansion to 4 billion cubic feet per day of
throughput capacity, $284.7 million reserved for interest payments on the Sabine
Pass LNG, L.P. senior notes and $86.7 million as a reserve for distributions to
Cheniere Partners' common unit holders. Estimated costs, before financing costs,
for the Sabine Pass terminal are $1.4 to $1.5 billion. Costs incurred through
September 30, 2007 were $941.9 million.

     Cheniere Energy, Inc. is developing a network of three LNG receiving
terminals and related natural gas pipelines along the Gulf Coast of the United
States. Cheniere is pursuing related business opportunities both upstream and
downstream of the terminals. Cheniere is also the founder and holds a 30%
limited partner interest in a fourth LNG receiving terminal. Additional
information about Cheniere Energy, Inc. may be found on its web site at
