Reganosa Receives First Shipment of Natural Gas from the U.S.

The LNG carrier “Sestao Knutsen” unloaded on July 22 at the Reganosa terminal in Mugardos the first shipment of liquefied natural gas from Sabine Pass (Louisiana, U.S.) that has arrived in Spain. A journey of 138,000 cubic meters that opens a new chapter for the Galician facility, which has gained considerable importance in this type of traffic.

The liquefaction terminal at Sabine Pass has been operational since February 2016 and is operated by Cheniere Energy. It is estimated that the United States will become the third-largest supplier of natural gas by 2020, with a production capacity of 60 million tons annually. Spain is likely to become one of the main recipients of American fuel.
