Freeport LNG Gets Extra Two Years to Build 4th Export Train

The second-largest LNG export terminal in the U.S., Freeport LNG, located near Galveston, Texas, experienced an explosion and fire in early June (see Explosion Rocks Freeport LNG Export Plant – Offline for 3 Weeks). Freeport, when it's online and running, liquefies and exports roughly 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas--some of it from the Marcellus/Utica. The plant is now expected to be back online in November (see Freeport LNG Restart Timeline Slips from October to November). Freeport wants to build a fourth train, added to the three already built and (soon to be back) online. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has granted Freeport an extra two years to build its fourth liquefaction train.
