U.S. LNG exports and natural gas deliveries to Gulf Coast terminals are ticking up after a slump during June maintenance events, but global demand remains muted.

Deliveries of feed gas to the Gulf Coast have increased since the beginning of the month, indicating that maintenance at Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas facility has likely ended. Overall deliveries to U.S. LNG facilities rose from 11.8 Bcf/d on June 26 to 13 Bcf/d on Monday, according to NGI calculations.

Total feed gas deliveries to Sabine Pass averaged 2.91 Bcf/d through June, compared to 4.43 Bcf/d in May, NGI analyst Josiah Clinedinst said. So far in July, Sabine Pass deliveries have averaged 4.12 Bcf/d.
