Feedgas to Mexico's 3.25mn t/yr (450mn ft³/d) Energia Costa Azul (ECA) LNG export terminal hit a new high on 16 May as terminal operator Sempra Infrastructure steps up the facility's commissioning.
The terminal, located on Mexico's Pacific coast, received 99mn ft³ of natural gas on 16 May before flows tapered to 72mn ft³ on 17 May, pipeline data show. Data were unavailable from 13-15 May, but the previous high was 52mn ft³/d, which the terminal received from 8-12 May.
ECA took its first feedgas on 20 April after importing a cool-down cargo, which was used to chill the terminal's equipment, on 21 March.
Sempra plans to begin commercial operations at ECA this summer. The terminal's long-term offtake customers are TotalEnergies and Mitsui, which hold 1.7mn t/yr and 800,000 t/yr, respectively.
