Winter storm in US may disrupt LNG Exports

An Arctic blast surging across the US may complicate exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Gulf Coast, exacerbating turmoil in the energy system. 

The extreme weather is likely to continue for several days. It’s a well-known fact that the US became the world's largest exporter of LNG and Europe's most important LNG supplier, so supply chain chaos may hit many countries. 

Moran Shipping warns that severe cold sweeps and cold temperatures through December 26 may cause delays or complete suspension of pilot operations in Texas. That is exactly where Sabine Pass facility, the US largest receiving and regasifying LNG terminal, is located. 

Employees for the port of Corpus Christi that are in charge of docking vessels in the southern Texas region, suspended operations due to the harsh weather conditions. It may affect how ships will get to the LNG export terminals. 

Cheniere Energy Inc., which owns and operates the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi terminals, noted that it was prepared for changing weather.
