The Beaumont Enterprise (Tex.) reports that one of Golden Pass LNG’s storage tanks, currently under construction, sustained some damage caused by the high wind speeds of Hurricane Humberto. A spokesperson for project-developer Exxon Mobil said that “part of the steel inner tank was at a vulnerable stage of construction because it didn’t have a roof in place.” Exxon Mobil is currently assessing the cost of damage to the tank.
Separately, Platts LNG Daily [subscription required] reports that it is unlikely that Humberto will cause any major delay for LNG vessels destined for Trunkline LNG in Lake Charles, La. A Southern Union official refused to comment on the possibility of cargo delays.
