Reassess LNG sourcing as new export links shift supply routes

Home Fossil Energy Appraisal ops strengthen Angola’s non-associated gas potential August 7, 2026, by An appraisal well in the Benguela Basin’s Block 24 has confirmed high-quality reservoirs and delivered Angola’s first full drill stem test (DST) on a non-associated gas reservoir. Block 24; Source: ANPG Sonangol Exploração & Produção and Angola’s National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANPG) have drilled and tested the Katambi-2 appraisal well in Block 24 of the Benguela Basin, confirming a high-quality

These appraisal activities come months after Azule Energy started production from a project, described as the first non-associated gas development offshore Angola

As a result, Angola’s National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels emphasizes that the test reinforces the economic viability of developing the discovery and its potential contribution to optimizing national production

The firm sees this as a key LNG lynchpin, connecting its Tres Palacios gas storage facility to the Coastal Bend Header pipeline for delivery to the Freeport LNG export facility. The 25-mile, 300-million-cubic-feet-per-day (cf/d) TTC Connector, which is now under construction, is expected to enter service by the end of 2026

” According to Elizabeth Perez, Director of Intrastate Business Development with Enbridge’s Gas Transmission business, the TTC Connector represents a “last-mile” LNG supply project linking a major Gulf Coast storage asset to an LNG export terminal. Perez added: “It’s a prime example of the growing integration between storage, transmission and LNG export facilities as the world’s demand for American LNG exports continues to grow

4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of nominal export capacity from a single train, tripling Mexico’s LNG export capacity. The facility is the first terminal in Mexico and the second in North America, following LNG Canada, to be located on the Pacific Coast, boosting North American export capacity there to 2

Energia Costa Azul, the second liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Mexico, shipped its initial cargo from Phase 1 of the terminal on July 8, according to the project developer

Sites that are listed as commissioning have introduced feedgas, system testing, and first LNG production and exports but have not started meeting long-term shipping obligations.
