LNG: Plaquemines LNG Progress Towards Start After Cool Down LNG Delivery

LNG

The LNG tanker Qogir left Venture Global LNG’s US Plaquemines export facility in Louisiana by Tuesday morning, according to LSEG, after waiting at the plant since Aug. 23.

  • The departure, with less LNG onboard than at arrival, is the latest sign the plant is making good progress towards starting up production with the delivered volumes used for cool down as part of the commissioning process.
  • Plaquemines started receiving very small volumes of US pipeline feedgas in late June with the start of test LNG production possible in the coming weeks or months.
  • ICIS analyst Alex Froley previously suggested “some spot cargoes coming into the market before the end of the year.”
