Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office has asked the Freeport liquefied natural gas export terminal to dial back operations in keeping with the state’s disaster declaration amid a polar blast.
To limit gas and power consumption, Freeport will shut down LNG production units 2 and 3, which will result in unplanned flaring, the company said Tuesday in a regulatory filing. Freeport also said it had to shut unit 1 on Monday because of freezing conditions affecting a pretreatment facility.
