US LNG exports rise on week to 6 cargoes

Cheniere’s Sabine Pass liquefaction terminal in Louisiana, currently the only such a facility to export US shale gas overseas, has sent out more cargoes in the week ending February 7 as compared to the previous week, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Six LNG vessels with a combined capacity of 22.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf) have departed the plant since Wednesday last week, EIA said in its weekly natural gas report.

This compares to five LNG vessels with a combined capacity of 18.4 Bcf in the week before.

One tanker with a capacity of 3.5 Bcf was loading at the terminal on Wednesday.

The natural gas feedstock to the Sabine Pass terminal averaged 3.3 Bcf/d during the report week as compared to 3.2 Bcf/d in the prior week.
