EIA: US weekly LNG exports go up by one vessel

Weekly exports of LNG from the United States have increased by one vessel from last week, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

In the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook for the week between 6 and 12 January, EIA reports 25 LNG vessels departed the United States. This is one more than the last reported week.

Nine LNG carriers were from Sabine Pass, five from Freeport, four each from Cameron and Corpus Christi, two from Cove Point and one from Elba Island. They held a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 92 billion cubic feet.

The Henry Hub spot price also rose from $3.79 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) last Wednesday to $4.59/MMBt this week.

Natural gas deliveries to LNG export facilities (LNG pipeline receipts) averaged 12.2 Bcf/d, or 0.3 Bcf/d higher than last week.
