The facility, a former import terminal-turned-LNG liquefaction and export facility, had suffered several outages in July.
The data, reported on Wednesday by several US news outlets and supplied by financial company LSEG, revealed that gas exports rose to almost 7.5 million tonnes (mt) last month, from just under 7mt the month before.
Just-released data from the Energy Information Association (EIA) indicates that North American LNG exports are set to double within the next three years to 24.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d).
The information provider expects the US to take on the bulk of the expansion at almost 10bcf/d, with Mexico and Canada accounting for the remainder.
