U.S. LNG feedgas demand averaged 15.2 Bcf/d last week, up 0.56 Bcf/d from the previous week, driven by higher flows to Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi.
Sabine Pass, which had two trains offline for most of June due to maintenance, began restarting on June 22. The terminal now appears to be fully online, with feedgas deliveries averaging 96% utilization.
Daily feedgas deliveries to Corpus Christi were volatile last week, ranging from 1.6 Bcf/d to 2.4 Bcf/d, but averaged 2.11 Bcf/d, higher than recent weeks. Flows to Calcasieu Pass and the commissioning Plaquemines terminal also increased modestly.
Feedgas intake at Cameron and Freeport was down week-on-week. Flows to Cameron dipped below 1.4 Bcf/d on July 4 and 5 due to lower volumes on Columbia Gulf but have since rebounded. Freeport’s Train 1 tripped offline on July 1, followed by Train 2 on July 2; Both were quickly restarted, and the terminal is now operating at full capacity.
All U.S. terminals are currently operating fully and feedgas deliveries to Plaquemines are holding around 2.5 Bcf/d. For more insights on the U.S. LNG sector, check out our LNG Voyager Weekly Report.
