The United States grew and Canada shrank as natural gas exporters as the coronavirus pandemic spread in the first half of this year, according to the latest international trade scorecard from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The records, compiled by the DOE’s gas regulation office, showed that market diversity made the difference. American dealers…

Feed gas deliveries to U.S. export terminals have fallen significantly in recent days and are likely to remain low this week as inclement weather on the Gulf Coast and maintenance are slowing liquefied natural gas (LNG) production.  Feed gas deliveries to Cove Point in Maryland have fallen to zero as the terminal started annual fall…

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will likely reach capacity of roughly 10 Bcf/d by the winter after dropping to about 30% of capacity in July because of the demand devastation caused by Covid-19, analysts told NGI this week. Some analysts see capacity ramping through the end of the year, while others expect a sharp…

U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports fell by 23.2% in June compared to the same month last year, their first year/year (y/y) decline since January 2016, according to the latest monthly data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Total natural gas exports dropped by 6.1% to 11.3 Bcf/d, the first annual decline for any…

The Trump administration has unveiled a potentially quixotic effort to halt the controversial $11.4 billion Nord Stream 2 (NS2) natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany by threatening to sanction companies that help complete the last 100 miles of the 745-mile line. The State Department plans to alter the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act…

Russia will likely complete by next year the undersea Nord Stream 2 (NS2) natural gas pipeline to Germany despite ongoing U.S. efforts to scuttle the $11 billion project, analysts said. The start-up of the 5.3 Bcf/d NS2 could curb a potential recovery of U.S. LNG exports even if the Covid-19 pandemic recedes next year, said…

China’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports have continued to increase and are above 2019 levels year-to-date as spot prices in the region have plummeted, U.S. import tariffs have been waived and industrial demand recovers from the pandemic.

As global natural gas prices have cratered and the market remains awash in supplies, speculation persists over the possibility for a spike in U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports this summer, a prospect that still remains unlikely.

Another liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel was thought to be headed toward the United States on Monday where it could deliver a cargo for import as early as Thursday.
