Unsurprisingly, Freeport LNG Experiences More (Brief) Outages

Why are we not surprised? We’ve been tracking the up down up down up down situation at Freeport LNG since it came online in 2019. Freeport was mostly offline this year following an episode of cold temps in January (see Freeport LNG Repairs Won’t be Done Until May – 2 Trains Offline). Freeport announced that two of its three trains (Trains 1 and 2) would remain out of service for testing and repairs through May. Train 3 came back online in late March, but just as quickly, it went down again. Then came back up. Then went down. Etc. As of Friday, April 26, Train 3 was down again. Then several weeks ago, in mid-May, Reuters reported a miracle of miracles — all three trains were back up and running (see Problem-Plagued Freeport LNG Fully Online Again … For Now). And then, late last week, Train 2 went down again.
