U.S. weekly LNG exports slip

Exports of liquefied natural gas from projects in the United States edged down during the week ending March 25. 

A total of 15 vessels departed U.S. LNG export facilities between March 19 and March 25, United States Energy Information Administration notes.

The combined LNG-carrying capacity of the 15 tankers was at 55 billion cubic feet. This compares to 16 cargoes in the previous week with a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 59 Bcf.

Out of the 15 cargoes, seven departed from Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG facility, three were shipped from the Freeport LNG plant and two cargoes each departed the Cameron LNG and Corpus Christi LNG facilities. The remaining cargo was shipped from the Cove Point LNG export plant in Maryland.

EIA further noted that natural gas deliveries to liquefied natural gas export terminals jumped for the week reaching 9.2 Bcf/d, up from 8 Bcf in the previous week.
