I remember reading the news about this plant’s explosion back in June, but I don’t remember the timeline initially issued to bring it back online was three months:

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th July, 2022) The United States may reduce the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe by 150,000 tonnes in July following the accident at the Texas-based Freeport LNG plant, an energy expert at the Russian company Vygon Consulting, Ivan Timonin, told Sputnik on Saturday.
Freeport LNG, the operator of one of the largest US LNG plants, announced that it would be closed after the explosion and fire occurred on June 8 at the plant for at least three months, while a full restoration of work is not expected until the end of the year. The US energy ministry said in July that the closure of the plant would reduce the country’s LNG export capacity by about 2 billion cubic feet per day or about 17% of total capacity.
The ministry lowered its export forecast for the second half of the year to an average of 10.5 billion cubic feet per day, a decrease of 14% compared to the June forecast.
