Golden Pass LNG appears offline after near halt in gas intake
Golden Pass LNG, a joint venture between QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil, has taken in little to no natural gas over the past three days and appears to be offline, according to data from financial firm LSEG.
The Texas (U.S.)-based export facility has been commissioning the first of its three LNG trains since March 30, with several start-and-stop periods as it tests and fine-tunes equipment.
When fully operational, Golden Pass is expected to export more than 18 metric MMtpy of liquefied natural gas and process up to 2.6 Bft3d of natural gas.
On Monday, the facility was requesting about 20 MMft3 of natural gas for its first train, which has a capacity of roughly 800 MMft3d, according to LSEG data.
The plant processed nearly 600 MMft3 of gas on June 23, but the higher volumes led to flaring. In a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Golden Pass said it is continuing commissioning and startup activities at its Sabine Pass facility and that the cause of the flaring remains under investigation.
Golden Pass did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
