US LNG export plants shipped 31 cargoes in the week ending 5 August, down four from the previous week, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
The weekly tally fell from 35 cargoes in the week ending 29 July. The decline comes against a broader expansion in US LNG supply.
US LNG exports increased by 26% to 15.1bn cubic feet per day in 2025, accounting for 26% of global LNG trade.
The EIA forecasts US LNG exports at 17.4bn cubic feet per day in 2026 and 18.6bn cubic feet per day in 2027.
