What caused the shutdown of Cheniere's Corpus Christi Stage 3 Midscale Trains 1–6, and when were they scheduled to resume increased gas intake?

Cheniere shut down its Corpus Christi LNG export plant's Stage 3 Midscale Trains 1–6 on Wednesday morning due to an upset caused by high LNG rundown pressure, as reported to Texas environmental regulators; the trains were on track to take in more natural gas on Thursday, according to LSEG data.

How much natural gas was flowing to the Corpus Christi LNG plant on Wednesday versus Thursday, and how does Thursday’s expected flow compare to recent historical levels?

Gas flow to the Corpus Christi LNG plant was 2.14 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) on Wednesday and was expected to rise to 2.61 bcfd on Thursday, according to LSEG — a level that would be the highest since the record 2.64 bcfd recorded on January 31, and notably above the prior seven-day average of 1.81 bcfd.
