LNG

The United States expects dry natural gas production will be flat and average 92.9 billion cubic feet per day in the second half of 2021 before output rises in 2022 to underpin LNG exports and more gas use outside the electricity generating sector amid switching to less expensive US coal for power.

The United States said natural gas production will average a record 91.3 billion cubic feet per day in 2019, up 8.0 Bcf per day from the previous record in 2018, as shale gas begins to dominate the output and opens the way for more LNG and pipeline exports and domestic gas-fired power.
