Signs of Life at Freeport LNG

January 25, 2023--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The operator of the Freeport liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Texas has filed a request with federal regulators to take the steps necessary to return to normal functions. The facility has been idled since June.

Freeport LNG (Houston, Texas) closed its three-train facility in Texas in June following an explosion that was triggered by a pipeline failure. The 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) from Freeport represented about 17% of total U.S. LNG capacity at the time of the closure.
