EIA: US weekly LNG exports grow week over week

LNG exports from the United States increase this week with Henry Hub prices going up, according to weekly data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

In the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook report for the week between 30 September and 6 October 2021, EIA counts twenty LNG ships that departed the United States.

Eight of the vessels departed from Sabine Pass. Four liquefied natural gas carriers sailed from Cameron and Corpus Christi. Three were from Freeport, and one was from Elba Island.

They held a combined liquefied natural gas-carrying capacity of 74 billion cubic feet.

Also, the Henry Hub spot price rose from $5.63 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) last Wednesday to $5.95/MMBtu this week.

Finally, natural gas deliveries to U.S. LNG export facilities averaged 10.0 Bcf/d, or 0.2 Bcf/d lower than last week.
