U.S. LNG exports increase week over week 10-19-2018

The U.S. Energy Information Administration Natural Gas Weekly Update reported yesterday U.S. LNG exports increase week over week. Five LNG vessels (all from the Sabine Pass liquefaction terminal) with a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 16.9 Bcf departed the United States from October 11 to October 17. One tanker (LNG-carrying capacity 3.5 Bcf) was loading at Sabine Pass on Wednesday.

The Cove Point liquefaction terminal did not have any LNG exports last week; however, the facility has completed its scheduled maintenance, and it resumed receiving natural gas feedstock deliveries by pipeline on October 12. Feedstock deliveries to Cove Point averaged 0.4 Bcf/d through Wednesday.
