Hurricane Laura’s varying impact on US Gulf Coast Crude, LNG flows

AJOT | August 27, 2020 | Energy

The last LNG export out of the US Gulf was on Sunday, with feedgas supply to Sabine Pass now down to almost zero, and feedgas to Sempra's Cameron LNG terminal at 0.43 Bcf/d. Given the direct hit on the Sabine Pass and Cameron LNG export terminals by Hurricane Laura, they will likely be the last terminals to restart exports in the Gulf. Nonetheless, there are a number of empty vessels waiting to load in the Gulf of Mexico, as highlighted in the map below.

EIA’s mapping system and data series show energy infrastructure near hurricanes, wildfires

AJOT | August 25, 2020 | Energy

Tropical Storms Marco and Laura are in or approaching the U.S. Gulf Coast region, home to key U.S. energy infrastructure, and several wildfires are affecting large areas of California and Colorado. Both the storms and fires could affect local energy supply and demand, especially for transportation fuels and electricity. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Energy Disruptions map shows storm and fire-related geographic data (also referred to as map layers) from the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service and EIA's map layers for energy-related infrastructure such as high-voltage transmission lines, power plants, and petroleum bulk terminals.
