US LNG exports rise, Cameron LNG remains offline

US exported fourteen LNG cargoes in the week ending September 30 with feed gas deliveries to liquefaction plants rising to 6.5 billion cubic feet.

Compared to the last week, natural gas deliveries to US LNG export plants increased to some 0.45 Bcf/d, EIA said in its weekly natural gas report.

Furthermore, Sempra’s Cameron facility is still offline amid challenges in restoring power after Hurricane Laura.

The plant resumed receiving feedgas on September 27 and it is currently testing equipment in order to restart the liquefaction process.

Feedstock deliveries to the facility averaged 11.6 MMcf/d on September 27 and 28, and they increased to 20.2 MMcf/d on September 29, according to Genscape.

As per the LNG shipments, four US terminals dispatched the fourteen cargoes during the week September 24-September 30. The total capacity of LNG vessels carrying these cargoes is 50 Bcf, EIA said citing Marine Traffic shipping data.

This compares to ten LNG cargoes with the vessels’ capacity of 37 Bcf in the week before.

Cheniere’s Sabine Pass plant sent eight LNG cargoes in the week under review while its Corpus Christi plant dispatched two cargoes.

Additionally, the Freeport terminal shipped three cargoes while the Elba Island dispatched one cargo of the fuel.

Compared to the previous week, the Henry Hub spot price fell from $1.74/MMBtu last week to $1.63/MMBtu this Wednesday, EIA said.
