LNG terminal

Freeport LNG

Texas, USA. ~15 MTPA across 3 trains.

Overview

Texas, USA. ~15 MTPA across 3 trains. A June 2022 fire shut the plant until early 2023, removing ~17% of US LNG export capacity during the European gas crisis.

Geopolitical context

Freeport's 2022 outage showed how a single US plant going down could move European and Asian gas prices. It is a reminder that the US LNG buildout concentrates global supply risk in a few hurricane-exposed square miles of the Texas–Louisiana coast.
