U.S. LNG feedgas demand declined sharply again last week, primarily due to maintenance at Cameron and pipeline work affecting Corpus Christi. Feedgas volumes fell by nearly 1 Bcf/d week on week, (blue-dashed line below) and are down about 2 Bcf/d since mid-April, due to terminal and pipeline maintenance. Excluding the temporary disruption from Winter Storm Fern in January, this marks the lowest level of LNG feedgas demand since November 2025.
At Cameron LNG, flows dropped on April 30 and have held near 1.5 Bcf/d, suggesting that one of the facility’s three trains is offline for annual maintenance. The Cameron Interstate header pipeline is also undergoing maintenance that is expected to continue through the month.
Feedgas deliveries to Corpus Christi and Freeport also declined from the prior week. At Corpus Christi, volumes are being constrained by maintenance on the Natural Gas Pipeline of America (NGPL). Freeport experienced a brief disruption on May 8 when Train 3 tripped offline due to a compressor issue.
Sabine Pass and Cove Point continue to operate above their long-term contracted volumes, while Plaquemines remains near peak intake levels. Feedgas deliveries to Golden Pass, which is still in commissioning, increased slightly. Stay tuned to the LNG Voyager Weekly Report for more insights on the LNG industry.
