Freeport LNG Development LP has requested FERC’s approval to reintroduce feed gas to one of its three trains more than seven months after a fire and explosion knocked the Texas plant offline.

In a filing on Monday, Freeport also said that it has successfully cooled down its Loop 1 transfer piping so it can move liquefied natural gas to one of its docks and reinstated boil-off gas management at the facility. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted permission for those steps last week.
