According to the US National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Francine is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane Tuesday and make landfall Wednesday over Louisiana.
“Cheniere continues to monitor TS Francine’s progress,” a spokesman for Cheniere told LNG Prime on Tuesday.
He said the Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana continues with storm preparations.
“LNG production at Sabine Pass remains uninterrupted,” the spokesman added.
Cheniere’s Sabine Pass facility in Louisiana currently has a capacity of about 30 mtpa following the launch of the sixth train in February 2022.
Besides this facility, Sempra’s Cameron LNG export plant is also located in Louisiana.
The Cameron LNG plant has three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of about 12 mtpa of LNG.
“Cameron LNG has a phased approach to managing day-to-day operations when any tropical weather system enters the Gulf of Mexico,” a spokeswoman for Cameron LNG said.
“We are closely monitoring the weather situation and will take the necessary actions to ensure the safety of personnel and plant operations,” she said.
Venture Global LNG’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal is also located in Louisiana. This facility is still in the commissioning phase and has a capacity of 10 mtpa.
LNG Prime contacted Venture Global, but we did not receive a reply by the time this article was published.
