Total U.S. LNG feedgas demand averaged 15.22 Bcf/d last week, down 22 MMcf/d from the previous week, with small changes in intake at the terminals.
Feedgas intake at Plaquemines LNG held steady again last week. Flows to the new terminal are around 1.5 Bcf/d (see chart below) with the first nine blocks commissioning and authorized to take feedgas. Plaquemines has been regularly exporting two to three cargoes each week.
Sabine Pass, Cove Point, and Cameron were all down slightly week-on-week but are all still operating above full utilization.
Freeport Train 3 tripped offline on March 6 and Train 2 tripped offline on March 7. Both were restarted quickly but it caused some minor dips in feedgas intake last week. The terminal is back at full utilization. Intake at Calcasieu Pass was up week-on-week and the terminal is operating at its highest level since last spring. Corpus Christi and Elba are operating just below full utilization.
In recent weeks, feedgas demand has been averaging around 15 Bcf/d up from around 13 Bcf/d in November. To read more about U.S. LNG feedgas, check out the LNG Voyager Weekly Report.
