US LNG Exports Are Falling At Just the Wrong Time
GCaptain ^ | 10/23/2021 | Sergio Chapa

Production issues at two of the largest U.S. liquefied natural gas export terminals threaten to reduce shipments just as an energy crisis hits Europe and Asia, where buyers are desperately trying to rebuild depleted inventories ahead of winter.

Freeport LNG is experiencing a wax buildup in its pipelines due to impurities in the gas it receives, said people with direct knowledge who asked not to be identified. As a result, LNG shipments from the Texas export terminal will be reduced for the remainder of October through November, the people said. Freeport officials declined to comment. ...

Meanwhile, a production unit known as Train 3 at Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine Pass LNG export terminal is down due to mechanical issues, people with direct knowledge said. Cheniere officials didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Gas flows to the plant are down about 21% from the previous week, BloombergNEF figures show. The ship channel for the plant was shut part of the day on Thursday due to fog.

Every barrel of crude oil has dissolved gas in it, about 1000 to 3000 std. cubic feet. Alternatives to exporting are storage, which has limited space and pipeline access,...

ICBW, but I'm pretty sure they aren't using the vast storage fields in (under) North-Central WV. I haven't smelled gas along the I79 corridor in a loooong time.

Thank you. That is a very good answer and has changed my mind in the question.

But I suspect that LGB will be with us for a long, long time.

It’s the accidentally perfect meme. A G-rated curse. Everyone knows what it means, well, except probably Brandon over in the White House.

“We have finite domestic natural gas supplies. Why ship them overseas?”

I live right on top of the Marcellus gas region. There is enough gas there to supply all of Americas needs for 300 years.

The Utica formation below that has enough for 500 years.
The Marcellsu-Utica is 5 states NY, PA, Ohio , Wva and KY

This is not counting all the other gas formations through out the country.

At least the Marcellus under NY state jurisdiction will remain untouched for the foreseeable future.

“Why exactly are we exporting LNG anyway? We have finite domestic natural gas supplies. Why ship them overseas?”

my question as well ...

Countries that DO oppose fossil fuels should be made to live to that opposition.

It wasn’t a correction, it was agreement with some ammo for you to use in the future!
