Haynesville production is beginning to climb again as spring maintenance winds down, with LNG demand expected to rebound as the Freeport facility restarts and Golden Pass commissioning advances.
Haynesville production averaged 16.7 Bcf/d for the week ending June 8, up 0.15 bcf/d from the previous week (see dark green line below), driven by higher production in Louisiana. Production in Texas was relatively unchanged, with offsetting changes on individual pipelines. While spring maintenance is not fully complete, activity is winding down and should allow flows to strengthen as summer approaches.
Flows on Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) rebounded last week following maintenance‑related restrictions over the past few weeks, according to our NATGAS Haynesville Report. The pipeline still has some work ongoing, but that is scheduled to end later this week. Flows on Louisiana Energy Gateway (LEG) and DTE’s Louisiana Energy Access Project (LEAP) were also up last week, while flows on Gulf Run Pipeline and Tiger Pipeline were down.
Gulf Run also had maintenance ongoing last week that has since ended. The pipeline's final planned spring maintenance period is from June 15 to 20, affecting the Vernon compressor station in Jackson Parish.
Spring pipeline maintenance is winding down and LNG feedgas demand is expected to rise, which should drive Haynesville production higher this month.
