LNG feedgas demand is mostly unchanged from Friday at 13 Bcf/d, with reduced inflows to several terminals offset by an increase at Cameron LNG.
We had previously reported on Golden Pass’ lead contractor Zachry filing for bankruptcy; now, Freeport LNG is suing Zachry as well as Chiyoda, and McDermott over defects in electric motors at its terminal.
The lawsuit cites an electrical short from loose hardware in Train 3’s motor as the direct cause of the outage, leading to further inspections and repairs across the facility. Freeport found similar issues in other motors and additional workmanship flaws in Train 2.
The defects had caused extensive damage and prolonged outages from January to May, with the lawsuit filed in April. Flows to the terminal remain strong, with feedgas deliveries near full capacity this month so far.
