Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Louisiana shipped its inaugural cargo of LNG back in February (see Calcasieu Pass LNG Loads Inaugural Cargo; Sabine Pass LNG Expands). In May, Calcasieu Pass began accepting daily deliveries of 800 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas (see Calcasieu Pass, U.S.’s 7th LNG Export Terminal, Hits 0.8 Bcf/d). The facility continues to build toward using an estimated 1.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natgas, with the ability to spike up to 1.6 Bcf/d. And it’s a good thing because not long after Calcasieu Pass came online, Freeport LNG and its 2 Bcf/d of production went offline (see Explosion Rocks Freeport LNG Export Plant – Offline for 3 Weeks). Freeport remains offline to this day.
