Freeport LNG plans to restart one of its three liquefied natural gas trains this week at its Texas, USA, facility. This comes after the company had to make damage repairs after Hurricane Beryl.
The plant halted operations on July 7 before Hurricane Beryl hit the coast, causing widespread power outages and wind damage.
The LNG exporter plans to restart the remaining two trains shortly after the first resumes operation, but production will be reduced while it continues repairs.
Each of Freeport’s three liquefaction trains can turn about 0.7 billion cubic feet per day (19 million m3) of gas into LNG. One billion cubic feet is enough gas to supply about 5 million US homes for a day.
Freeport is one of the most-watched US LNG export plants because it has a history of hitting global gas prices when it shuts due to the decreased demand.
