Orange Texas sits at the Louisiana border on the Sabine River — the gateway to the Sabine Pass LNG export terminal, the first and largest US liquefied natural gas export facility. The Cheniere Energy Sabine Pass facility exports massive quantities of LNG to European and Asian markets, making it a critical piece of US energy security infrastructure. Orange County sits at near sea level and was catastrophically flooded by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The concentration of LNG infrastructure in the Sabine-Neches waterway makes this corridor a significant target for adversary disruption operations.
