            Cheniere Energy Partners Announces Open Season
               on Proposed Louisiana Natural Gas Header

    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2007--Cheniere Energy Partners,
L.P. (AMEX:CQP) announced today that it is holding a non-binding open
season for a proposed new natural gas transportation project called
the Louisiana Natural Gas Header. This project would link growing
demand markets in the Southeast with new incremental natural gas
supplies sourced from multiple LNG import terminals existing and under
construction in and around Louisiana. The Louisiana Natural Gas Header
would also be able to interconnect with existing pipeline
infrastructure, providing shippers with access to wellhead natural gas
supply sources, including offshore, onshore conventional and recently
developed unconventional resources.

    As currently contemplated, the pipeline would involve the
construction of approximately 330 miles of up to 42-inch diameter
pipeline commencing at a point in Beauregard Parish near Dequincy,
Louisiana to a point of interconnect with the Florida Gas Transmission
pipeline near its Station 11 in Mobile County, Alabama. Cheniere
anticipates that the project could be placed into service as early as
mid 2010.

    "By 2010, nearly 10 Bcf/d of LNG regasification capacity will be
placed into service in Southwest Louisiana and neighboring Southeast
Texas. Combining new incremental supply with traditional production
area access, the Louisiana Natural Gas Header will offer shippers
supply diversity unlike any other greenfield project opportunity,"
said Stan Horton, President and COO. "This project would also
alleviate increasing natural gas demand in the Southeast primarily
driven by electric generation. In recent months, the Florida Public
Service Commission has rejected proposals for two new
ultra-supercritical pulverized coal generation units representing
nearly 2,000 megawatts of new capacity planned to meet near-term
demand growth. Over the next ten-year planning horizon, incremental
natural gas necessary to satisfy new electric generation in the
Florida market alone is very conservatively estimated at 1 Bcf/d."

    Cheniere Energy Partners will hold a non-binding open season from
November 15, 2007 to 5:00 p.m. (CST) on January 15, 2008 to gauge
interest from prospective shippers.
