Freeport LNG says all three trains back online

Freeport LNG, the operator of the 15 mtpa liquefaction plant in Texas, has resumed operations at all of its three liquefaction trains.

“All three of Freeport LNG’s liquefaction trains have been safely restarted,” a Freeport LNG spokeswoman told LNG Prime on Monday.

“We are now in the process of completing our return to normal production rates,” the spokeswoman said.

The LNG terminal operator ramped down production at its liquefaction end export facility on Sunday, July 7, ahead of Hurricane Beryl making landfall.

Freeport LNG said on July 15 that it expects to restart the first train during that week after the terminal’s fin fan air coolers were damaged during Hurricane Beryl.

The spokeswoman said at the time that the company plans to restart the remaining two trains “shortly thereafter”.

Moreover, the spokeswoman said production levels after restart would be at “reduced rates for a period of time” as Freeport LNG continues repairs while operating the facility.

Freeport LNG shipped its first cargo after Hurricane Beryl on July 22 onboard the 2024-built 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Axios II, owned by Capital Product Partners.

Of the 15 mtpa of Freeport LNG’s export capacity, 13.4 mtpa has been sold to Osaka Gas, Jera, BP, TotalEnergies, and SK E&S.
