EIA: US weekly LNG exports go down to 23 ships

U.S. weekly LNG exports decreased by two vessels from last week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) report.

In the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, EIA reports that U.S. LNG exports dropped this week from the last report week.

23 LNG vessels departed the United States between 31 March and 6 April, which is two less than the week before.

Nine LNG carriers departed from Sabine Pass; four each from Cameron, Corpus Christi, and Freeport; and one each from Cove Point and Elba Island. They held a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 86 billion cubic feet.

On the other hand, the Henry Hub spot price rose from $5.34 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) last Wednesday to $6.25/MMBtu this week.

Natural gas deliveries to U.S. LNG export facilities averaged 12.5 Bcf/d, or 0.7 Bcf/d lower than last week.
