LNG

Hurricane Ida has made landfall in the US LNG hub state of Louisiana and came ashore as a Category 4 storm at Port Fourchon, a seaport with significant oil and natural gas industry offshore vessel supply traffic for Gulf of Mexico oil and platforms and drilling rigs.

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has given pipeline company Kinder Morgan permission to start construction of the proposed Acadiana natural gas pipeline project in Louisiana linked to the Cheniere Energy Sabine Pass LNG export plant, the largest in the US.

The US Department of Energy has just published its latest liquefied natural gas export data illustrating rising monthly prices and volumes as deliveries returned to a North Asia focus as well as South America.
