Feed gas nominations to Freeport LNG ticked up and a vessel appeared to be loading early Thursday, according to Kpler vessel-tracking data, after days of significantly reduced flows to the facility.

Nominated feed gas on the Gulf South Pipeline system, the export facility’s primary supply route, was 599 MMcf/d on Wednesday, according to NGI analysis of pipeline data from Wood Mackenzie. Utilization of pipeline capacity jumped to 33% from 11% the day prior.

Flows to the facility have remained lower than average since Sept. 9, when reported feed gas nominations dropped significantly. Flows declined 76% between Sept. 9 and Monday (Sept. 11) to an average of 320 MMcf/d. Flows to the liquefied natural gas terminal averaged 1.38 Bcf/d from Sep. 1-8.
