Exports

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports set records in October and November, as more than 100 cargoes departed and daily send out surpassed 6 Bcf, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) expects shale and tight natural gas production growth, combined with rising demand for exports, to underpin expansions of its North America gas pipeline network over the coming years, CEO Steven Kean said last week.

Heading into an abbreviated week ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, FERC last Thursday approved a suite of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects along the Gulf Coast, clearing second wave export terminals to advance and green lighting expansions at existing facilities.

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports ticked upward over the last week, building on a strong month in October for the global market as colder weather set in.

The United States will add a total of 16-17 Bcf/d of capacity from an estimated 46 new natural gas pipeline projects this year, most built to provide additional takeaway capacity, which will increase deliveries to Mexico or liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities in the Gulf Coast region, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Net U.S. natural gas exports through the first six months of 2019 more than doubled year-ago levels, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), showing the rapid transformation underway for a country that only became a net exporter in 2017.

As exports of U.S. crude oil have continued to ramp up in 2019, the number of export destinations for domestically produced crude now exceeds the number of places supplying imports into the United States, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

U.S. oil exports averaged 2.9 million b/d through June, an increase of 966,000 b/d from the first half of 2018, and they set a record high monthly average in June at 3.2 million b/d, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has handed opponents of the Nexus Gas Transmission system a partial victory in a key decision directing FERC to reconsider its approval for the pipeline that could have implications for infrastructure serving liquified natural gas (LNG) export facilities.
