Freeport LNG Returns to Full Production
(Reuters) — Freeport LNG was on track to return to full production on Sunday, pulling over 2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas, LSEG data showed.
Freeport is the United States' second-largest LNG exporter and one of the most-watched U.S. LNG export plants in the world because it has a history of swaying global gas prices when it shuts and restarts. The U.S. is the world's largest exporter of the superchilled gas.
Freeport LNG shut down on July 7 in preparation for Hurricane Beryl and has been slowly increasing feedgas demand, according to LSEG data.
Two weeks ago, Freeport said it planned to restart its plant one processing train at a time as it conducted repairs to damage it suffered due to a hurricane.
Freeport was not immediately available for comment.
Sunday is the first time since July 7 that the plant has pulled close to its 2.2 Bcf/d capacity.
