Small Amount of NatGas Flowing to Freeport LNG Once Again

Here's a story that slipped by us last week. Small amounts of natural gas--roughly 22 MMcf/d (million cubic feet per day)--are once again flowing into the closed Freeport LNG export facility. Freeport is the second-largest LNG export terminal in the U.S., located near Galveston, Texas. The facility experienced an explosion and fire in early June, knocking 2 Bcf/d offline (see Explosion Rocks Freeport LNG Export Plant – Offline for 3 Weeks). Last week Freeport said the facility will likely be completely offline until at least October (see Freeport LNG Says 2 Bcf/d Export Plant Offline Until October). So why, a day or two after that, was 22 MMcf/d of gas flowing into the facility?
