U.S. energy regulators on Saturday assured Texas residents they are monitoring repairs and the eventual restart of the fire-idled Freeport LNG plant as a vessel this week began taking the first fuel out of its storage tanks in eight months.
The second-largest U.S. liquefied natural gas export facility was knocked offline by a fiery blast last June and operations halted while regulators conduct an extensive safety review of operations and staffing.
When fully operational, Freeport LNG processes about 2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas and exports up to 15 million tonnes of LNG per year. Its progress toward resuming operations is closely watched because of the impact on U.S. natural gas prices. Linda Daugherty, deputy associate administrator at the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration , told about 100 people the regulator has not completed its review of the incident.
