U.S. LNG feedgas demand averaged 19.1 Bcf/d last week, an increase of 0.09 Bcf/d, with small changes across all terminals.
Freeport LNG Train 3 tripped offline on March 16 due to a compressor issue, but the train quickly restarted, and feedgas was minimally impacted. Overall feedgas demand remains strong with most terminals continuing to operate at peak levels.
Intake at the newly commissioning Golden Pass LNG remains around 300 MMcf/d. Train 1 at the terminal is expected to begin producing LNG soon. At full utilization, Train 1 is expected to require around 850 MMcf/d of feedgas.
Gulf Run (blue shaded area in the chart below) and Midcoast Pipeline (red shaded area) are delivering gas onto the header pipeline, with some volumes used as feedgas and some delivered to other pipelines in the area. Golden Pass is an anchor shipper on Gulf Run, holding 1.1 Bcf/d of capacity on the line from the Haynesville area to the Sabine River area, and a significant share of its feedgas is expected from Gulf Run.
