Freeport LNG Announces Fix-it Work 90% Done, Restart in Mid-Dec

The Freeport LNG facility, which has been out of commission since early June, has once again changed the target date it will restart. According to Freeport officials, the export facility will restart incoming gas flows to the plant in mid-December. That is, provided Freeport gains permission from the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to do so. In an announcement issued Friday, Freeport said full production of 2 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of incoming gas won't happen until January 2023, and using both docks for cargo vessels won't happen until March 2023. Net net: Freeport won't return to full, 100% service until next spring.
