Freeport LNG Restart Timeline Slips from October to November

The Freeport LNG export facility, located in Quintana Island, Texas, has been offline since June due to an explosion and fire. Liquefying just over 2 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of natural gas, including some Marcellus/Utica gas, Freeport is the second largest LNG exporter in the country. Three weeks ago, Freeport announced the plant would be mostly back online and producing 2 Bcf/d sometime in October (see Freeport LNG Signs Agreement w/PHMSA to Restart 2 Bcf/d in October). Yesterday the company backtracked and said no, it would now be November, not October, before the plant returns to near-full operation.
