LNG

November gas future contract at Henry Hub soared to $2.932/MMBtu after hurricane Helene made landfall with a windspeed of 140mph in Florida’s Big Bend region. Though LNG infrastructure was not impacted, offshore gas production in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM) fell by nearly 10 bcf as developers took precautions.

US shipbuilder Conrad Industries said it delivered the first liquefied natural gas bunkering barge built in North America to provide fuel to LNG-powered ships operating from Florida.

Eagle LNG Partners, the company with plans to develop liquefaction and export facilities on the banks of the St Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida, has formally filed its application with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
