LNG

Dec 21 (LNGJ) - US LNG exports amounted to seven shipments in the past week, six from the Sabine Pass plant in Louisiana and one from Cove Point in Maryland, while one vessel was lifting a cargo at Sabine Pass through December 19, according to the weekly report from the Energy Information Administration. US spot natural gas prices fell at most locations, with the benchmark Henry Hub dropping from $4.20 per million British thermal units over the week to $3.56 per MMBtu as storage concerns receded and the weather turned warmer.
   “Prices have declined as temperatures were warmer than normal across the Lower 48 states and much warmer than normal across the Great Plains,” said the EIA. At the Chicago Citygate prices decreased 68 cents to $3.31 per MMBtu. At the Algonquin Citygate serving the Boston area prices dropped by $3.30 per MMBtu from $7.15 per MMBtu on December 12 to $3.85 per MMBtu. Tennessee Zone 4 Marcellus spot prices for shale gas dropped 71 cents to $3.28 per MMBtu. Prices at Dominion South in southwest Pennsylvania fell 75 cents to $3.22 per MMBtu.
