Sempra to Delay Commissioning of ECA LNG Project Due to Compressor Damage
Sempra Energy (SRE) announced after-market hours on Monday that it discovered damage in the refrigerant compressors at its Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG Phase 1 project in Mexico during routine inspections. The issue was identified following the export of the facility's first cargo, prompting a delay in commissioning activities. The company stated that while no safety or environmental risks are involved, repairs will be necessary before full operations can resume at ECA LNG Phase 1. This development has led to concerns about potential delays and operational setbacks for Sempra’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion plans in Mexico.
