Freeport LNG May Partially Resume Operations in October after U.S. Regulator Intervenes

July 1, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Freeport LNG (Houston, Texas) said Thursday it is targeting a partial resumption of its liquefaction operations in early October as it cooperates with the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The federal pipeline regulator said it found unsafe conditions and will not allow Freeport LNG to restart the plant until an outside analysis is complete.

Located in Quintana, Texas, the 15 million-ton-per-year facility was taken offline on June 8 following an explosion and fire.
