February 18, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Even though the eight terminals permitted for exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are operating slightly below their peak, U.S. deliveries are above the expected average for the year, data show.

The Calcasieu Pass terminal in Louisiana, operated by Venture Global LNG (Arlington, Virginia), on Friday exported about 1.4 billion cubic feet of LNG, which represents about 77% of its peak. Meanwhile, the newly launched Plaquemines facility, another Venture Global project, is only up to 70% of its peak capacity of 1.89 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d).
