LNG

Feb 23 (LNGJ) - US LNG exports numbered three carrier-loads from the Sabine Pass export plant in Louisiana in the past week, down from six in the previous week, while a fourth vessel was lifting a cargo at the facility, according to the US Energy Information Administration weekly natural gas report. The EIA report noted that the slowdown was matched by lower natural gas pipeline deliveries to the Sabine Pass facility amounting to an average 2.2 billion cubic feet per day, down 33 percent. Dominion Energy, the owner of the Cove Point liquefaction facility in Maryland, is close to starting commercial operations at its plant on Chesapeake Bay.
