Cheniere Energy says maintenance work begun on Sabine Pass LNG (U.S.) plant
Cheniere Energy said it has begun annual maintenance work on its LNG plant in Sabine Pass, Texas, the largest U.S. LNG plant.
Sabine Pass has annual capacity of 30 MMtpy and has played a major role in making the U.S. the world's largest exporter of LNG.
"Planned maintenance activity is underway at Sabine Pass," a Cheniere spokesperson told Reuters by email.
Declines in U.S. LNG output usually have an impact on global prices.
The annual maintenance work is expected to reduce U.S. output of LNG for the next few weeks.
Gas flows to Cheniere's 4.5-bcfd Sabine Pass plant were on track to drop from 3.9 bcfd on Thursday to an 11-month low of 3.7 bcfd on Friday, while feedgas to the company's 3.9-bcfd Corpus Christi in Texas was on track to drop from 2.1 bcfd on Thursday to a two-week low of 1.6 bcfd on Friday.
Energy traders have said they expect total LNG feedgas to remain below April's record high in June with Cheniere planning about three weeks of maintenance on liquefaction trains at Sabine around June 2-23.
