Does LNG Have A Future in the U.S.?

January 23, 2009

EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook | www.eia.doe.gov

After years of sluggish growth, U.S. gas production increased by more than 10% in the past two years, due to increased conventional drilling (in response to higher prices) as well as unanticipated growth from an unconventional source, shale gas deposits. At the same time, gas demand has been flat due to the economic recession. This near term surge in domestic gas production, coupled with weak demand, has delayed but not eliminated the need for LNG. Looking forward, conventional gas production is almost certain to return to its historical downward trend for both economic and geological reasons. And once U.S. gas demand begins to recover, LNG imports will still be needed to supplement domestic supply, though perhaps not as much and not as soon as originally thought (with much depending on the ultimate potential of shale gas).
