The number of LNG export vessels departing from the US declined slightly in the last week of October, pointing to a slight cooling in activity. The data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that twenty-four LNG vessels departed U.S. ports, collectively carrying a capacity of 89 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of LNG in the week to October 30. This compares to twenty-seven LNG vessels between October 17 and October 23, with a higher combined capacity of 101 Bcf.
Average natural gas deliveries to US LNG export terminals also decreased by 0.2 Bcf/d last week, averaging 13.5 Bcf/d, according to data from S&P Global Commodity Insights. Deliveries to terminals in South Louisiana saw a decrease of 2.3% (0.2 Bcf/d) to 7.9 Bcf/d, while those to terminals in South Texas remained relatively stable at 4.4 Bcf/d. Deliveries to terminals outside the Gulf Coast held steady at 1.2 Bcf/d.
