US LNG exports edge up on week

Liquefied natural gas exports from the U.S. increased over the last week, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

EIA stated in its weekly report that eleven LNG vessels, seven from Sabine Pass and two from Cove Point, departed from the United States between May 9 and May 15.

According to the data, the eleven vessels held a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 38.0 bcf.

Two vessels—one at Sabine Pass and one at Corpus Christi—were loading at their terminals on Wednesday.

It is worth noting that Sempra Energy, the owner of the Cameron LNG facility in Louisiana, started LNG production from its Train 1 and expects to load cargoes in the coming weeks.
