LNG Export Cargoes Down by 8 Last Week; Freeport Restarts?
U.S. LNG exports dropped in the week ending September 13 compared to the prior week because the Freeport LNG terminal shipped only one cargo during that time. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its weekly natural gas report that 18 LNG carriers departed the U.S. between Sept. 7 and Sept. 13, down by eight cargoes compared to the week before. As we reported yesterday, Freeport is known to have canceled at least 3-4 cargos over the past week (see Freeport LNG Cancels 3-4 Cargoes Due to Outage, Now in 6th Day). Perhaps the situation is now changing. NGI reports pipelines feeding Freeport have begun to increase flows once again--up to 33% of capacity yesterday.
