The US Department of Energy has just published its latest liquefied natural gas export data with the average overall price for the six plants declining to under $6.00 per million British thermal units and as China started to overtake Mexico in overall deliveries while more supplies reached South America and smaller nations like Malta and Lithuania.
US President Donald Trump said during a speech in Midland, Texas, that the Department of Energy is issuing a final policy statement that allows for liquefied natural gas exports to Non-Free Trade Agreement countries to be extended through the year 2050.
Okra Energy Alabama, a small-scale US liquefied natural gas supply and technology company, said it was awarded a renewable five-year contract to deliver LNG in ISO containers to Enestas Energy and Gas, a distributor in Mexico for transport, industrial users and local power generation.
The US Department of Energy has just published its latest liquefied natural gas export data illustrating a monthly price spike and with China overtaking the UK in the overall table as the fifth-largest importer of US shipments while another European nation Spain was the top monthly destination with 10 cargoes.
