Freeport LNG Seeks FERC Permission to Progress Return of Full Commercial Operations

Freeport LNG Development LP has asked FERC for permission to move forward with the next phase of its operational restart, moving its Texas export facility closer to full commercial operations for the first time since last summer.

In a recent filing, the firm asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to allow it to begin the nitrogen cooldown of its Loop 2 system and introduce natural gas so it can begin the commissioning process. Freeport requested a response by Friday.

“These activities are necessary to move into Phase II Operations, which would return Dock 2 to service,” Freeport representatives wrote in the request to FERC.
