Multiple states in the U.S. have initiated long-term proceedings to examine the operations of natural gas utilities, aiming to incorporate the implications of electrification goals and emissions reduction requirements into the planning processes of distribution utilities.
U.S. natural gas prices during 2023 were relatively lower, due to increases in natural gas supply surpassing the rise in natural gas demand, according to a Feb. 12 report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Domestic gas production and imports were robust during 2023, amid a backdrop of high U.S. natural gas storage levels. In…...
Houthi led militia attacks on commercial ships passing through the Red Sea since November 2023 has led some vessels to avoid the Bab el-Mandeb checkpoint, which is the southern entrance to the Red Sea, according to a Feb. 1 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The U.S. Energy Department on Jan. 26 announced a temporary pause on pending applications for the export of liquefied natural gas to non-Free Trade Agreement countries while it updates the criteria used to determine whether additional export authorizations are in the public interest. The U.S. is the global leader in LNG exports with 14 billion…...
Over 20 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of gas pipeline capacity is being developed, completed to some extent or approved to transport gas to five U.S. liquified natural gas export terminals that are also currently under construction, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Natural Gas Pipeline Project Tracker. The five LNG terminals to…...
Associated natural gas production from the highest three yielding tight oil plays in the Permian region (Wolfcamp, Spraberry and Bone Spring) averaged a total of 13.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) during the first seven months of 2023, nearly triple the production level of 4.7 Bcf/d in 2018, according to a Dec. 6 report…...

Long-term planning strategies of natural gas utilities across the U.S. are evolving in response to ambitious clean energy and emissions reduction goals. Policies to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century are leading state regulators and utilities to explore pathways to decarbonize the energy system.
North America’s liquefied natural gas export capacity is expected to increase to 24.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2027, according to a Nov. 13 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Currently, North American LNG export capacity stands at 11.4 Bcf/d. The increase in LNG export capacity can be attributed to Canada…
The Florida Public Service Commission on Nov. 9 authorized continued funding for natural gas pipeline replacement programs, in order to enhance the safety of the state’s energy infrastructure. Programs that will receive funding in 2024 include: Florida Public Utilities Company’s Gas Utility Access and Replacement Directive, or GUARD, program Peoples Gas System’s Cast Iron/Bare Steel…...
The U.S. Department of Energy on Sept. 21 released a draft environmental review assessing potential environmental impacts associated with allowing the New Fortress Energy Altamira FLNG Project to export natural gas to Mexico, and after liquefaction in Mexico, to other countries in a combined total volume equivalent to 158 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year…....
