European and Asian natural gas prices fell Monday as supply constraints eased, mainly at Freeport LNG on the upper Texas coast, which has restarted one of its three trains.

Feed gas flows to the facility ticked upward over the weekend and were nominated Monday at nearly 800 MMcf/d, or their highest level in three weeks. The gains pushed overall U.S. feed gas flows to 12.7 Bcf/d on Monday, up from 12.2 Bcf/d over the past week, according to Wood Mackenzie estimates. 

Freeport’s third train has mostly been offline since January after freezing temperatures caused electrical issues that needed repairs. It went offline again last week just days after restarting. The facility’s other two trains are undergoing similar work and feed gas flows have been near zero in recent weeks.
