US LNG exports climb as Henry Hub drops

The US exported twenty-two LNG cargoes in the week ending March 10 while feed gas deliveries to liquefaction plants averaged 10.6 billion cubic feet.

Compared to the last week, natural gas deliveries to US LNG export plants increased some 0.87 Bcf/d while shipments increased by five, according to EIA’s weekly natural gas report.

In addition, the Henry Hub spot price fell from $2.84/MMBtu last Wednesday to $2.60/MMBtu two days ago, the agency said.
