LNG

Oct 19 (LNGJ) - US LNG exports increased in the past week as five LNG carriers departed from the Sabine Pass liquefaction plant in Louisiana while one additional vessel was lifting a cargo. “The Cove Point liquefaction terminal did not have any LNG exports last week,” noted the report from the Energy Information Administration “However, the facility has completed its scheduled maintenance, and it resumed receiving natural gas feedstock deliveries by pipeline,” said the EIA. The benchmark Henry Hub natural gas spot price was last at $3.28 per million British thermal units. “Spot prices mostly rose as many regions of the country experienced significantly colder-than-normal temperatures,” added the EIA. At the Chicago Citygate, prices were last at $3.41 per MMBtu and at the Algonquin Citygate serving Boston prices went up 87 cents to $3.92 per MMBtu. “At the Transcontinental Pipeline Zone 6 trading point for New York City, prices increased 47 cents to $3.40 per MMBtu,” it said.
