石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月11日休斯敦报道，美国弗里波特液化天然气公司首席执行官迈克尔·史密斯周一宣布，该公司的第一批出口液化天然气(LNG)货物准备在7月交付。两年前，哈维飓风引发的洪水导致该公司位于德克萨斯州的LNG厂最近一次投产推迟。
史密斯在IHS Markit休斯敦会议间隙接受标普全球普氏能源资讯记者采访时表示，弗里波特LNG公司预计将在4月或5月开始向这个设施输送原料气，首批LNG货物将在7月装船。大西洋飓风季节从6月1日持续到11月30日。
史密斯称，在弗里波特LNG公司今年9月开始商业交付前，将有大约5 – 10批调试货物交付外运。去年宣布的这一商业交付时间相当于比此前的目标推迟了9个月。这一延迟的部分原因是，在2017年8月哈维飓风过后德克萨斯州一处场地的一个设备堆放场地发生洪水，承包商的施工被迫推迟。

Freeport LNG poised to export first cargo in July as market looks to US
Freeport LNG should be ready to ship its first export cargo in July, nearly two years after flooding following Hurricane Harvey helped lead to the Texas facility's most recent startup delay, CEO Michael Smith said Monday.
Smith said in an interview with S&P Global Platts on the sidelines of the CERAWeek by IHS Markit conference in Houston that Freeport LNG is expected to begin flowing feedgas to the facility in April or May, with first LNG ready to load in July. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.
Approximately five to 10 commissioning cargoes will be shipped before Freeport LNG begins commercial deliveries this September, Smith said. The commercial timing, announced last year, amounted to a nine-month delay from a previous target. That delay was attributed in part to flooding at an equipment yard for the Texas site following Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, and to contractor execution delays.
