Freeport LNG Trains 2 & 3 Go Offline Yet Again, Quick Restart

Up/down, up/down, up/down, up/down… We can’t count how many times the Freeport LNG export facility has come online to go offline again, with the cycle repeating (see our MANY stories about the uneven Freeport here). It’s become kind of a joke. Except, it’s no joke. Freeport is (still, for now) the country’s second-largest LNG export plant, with a capacity to liquefy 2.1 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of natural gas. Some of that gas comes from the Marcellus/Utica, which is why we care about the upness and downness of this facility. Two of the facility's three trains "tripped off" last week. They were restarted "quickly," but the outage contributed to a decrease in feedgas flows for LNG export.
