Venture Global announced on October 31, 2026 that Phase 1 of its Plaquemines LNG export facility in Louisiana reached commercial operations, and has shipped its first cargo. The project is the company's second LNG export plant to enter commercial service.
Added US LNG export capacity tightens the link between domestic gas and global markets, which can support international gas prices while doing little for feed grain prices directly.
After 93 past logistics events, NATGAS moved a median -3.6% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -10.7% to +4.7%), and -0.3% over 20.
