What was the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing was to announce the closing of Cheniere Energy's public offering of common stock and to report on ChevronTexaco's decision regarding negotiations for a limited partner interest in the Sabine Pass LNG partnership.

How much capital did Cheniere Energy raise from the public offering?

Cheniere Energy raised capital from the sale of 5 million shares of common stock at $60 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $300 million.

What is the status of Cheniere's relationship with ChevronTexaco regarding the Sabine Pass LNG terminal?

ChevronTexaco has decided not to pursue a limited partner interest in the Sabine Pass LNG partnership. However, they are still evaluating whether to enter into a Terminal Use Agreement for reserved capacity at the terminal, with a decision expected by December 20, 2004.

What are the implications of ChevronTexaco not proceeding with the limited partner interest?

While ChevronTexaco will not be a limited partner in the Sabine Pass LNG partnership, the impact is mitigated by the fact that they are still considering a Terminal Use Agreement. Investors will be closely watching the December 20th decision to understand ChevronTexaco's full commitment to the terminal's capacity.
