The U.S. imports of liquefied natural gas reached 52.6 Bcf or 20 cargoes in the January-July period, according to data by the Department of Energy.

The Freeport LNG terminal on Quintana Island, which is currently building export facilities adjacent to the original site, imported no LNG in the mentioned period.
