Freeport LNG Second Loading Dock Gets Final FERC OK to Restart Ops

Freeport LNG’s export terminal with three liquefaction “trains” shut down in June 2022 after an explosion and fire (see Explosion Rocks Freeport LNG Export Plant – Offline for 3 Weeks). What was initially thought to be a three-week outage lasted for ten months! The plant finally returned online in March of this year (see Freeport LNG Plant Back to Full Capacity Using 2.1 Bcf/d of NatGas). However, the plant has not been back to 100% operational status. A second loading dock is still offline. In October, Freeport asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for permission to return Dock 2 to operational status, which would goose output from the current 2.1 Bcf/d to 2.38 Bcf/d (see Freeport LNG Still Not at 100%, Asks FERC to Approve Full Restart). Last Wednesday, FERC finally granted full permission to restart the final pieces that are not online.
