Source: EIA Natural gas markets enter July balancing strong summer demand with growing signs that the global LNG market is already shifting its attention toward winter. This Week's Main Drivers: • EIA Storage: +87 Bcf versus expectations of +82 Bcf, above both last year's +61 Bcf and the five-year average of +64 Bcf. The build was modestly bearish but reflects continued robust production. • Heat Wave: Record temperatures across the U.S. Northeast pushed gas-fired power demand

Source: EIA Less than two decades ago, the U.S. was preparing for a future of growing natural gas imports. Today, America is the world's largest LNG exporter—a transformation driven by the shale revolution and innovations in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The impact extends far beyond energy. Abundant, affordable natural gas has lowered electricity costs, attracted manufacturing investment, strengthened our trade balance, and created hundreds of thousands of hi

This Week's Main Drivers: Natural gas and LNG markets navigated a mix of bullish supply disruptions and easing geopolitical risks this week. The biggest headline came from the Middle East as Iran-related negotiations moved toward a tentative agreement and shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz resumed normal operations after recent disruptions. The reduced geopolitical risk premium weighed on global gas prices. In the U.S., LNG demand strengthened as Golden Pass LNG co

Source: Delfin LNG The U.S. LNG industry reached another major milestone this month as Delfin LNG announced a Final Investment Decision (FID) on Delfin FLNG 1, the first floating LNG export facility ever sanctioned in the United States. Located approximately 40 miles offshore Louisiana, the project represents a new chapter in LNG infrastructure development. Instead of constructing a traditional onshore liquefaction terminal, Delfin will utilize floating LNG (FLNG) technology

Source: PJM After years of delays and reform, the PJM Interconnection has officially reopened its interconnection queue—and the response has been immediate and massive. Queue Cycle #1 attracted 800+ projects totaling ~220 GW of capacity. What stands out: natural gas is the single largest fuel type in the queue, even as renewables dominate project count. That headline deserves a second look. Historically, only a small fraction of interconnection requests actually reach commerc

Source: Golden Pass LNG The transition from construction to first cargo at an LNG export facility is one of the most technically demanding startup sequences in the energy industry. As commissioning advances at Golden Pass LNG near Port Arthur, Texas, the project is entering the final stretch before its first export cargo. Jointly developed by QatarEnergy and ExxonMobil, Golden Pass will add roughly 18 mtpa of liquefaction capacity to the U.S. Gulf Coast. But before LNG flows

Source: Google Maps After years of construction and commissioning, Golden Pass LNG is now poised to ship its first cargo from Sabine Pass, Texas in early March 2026—a defining milestone for U.S. export capacity. As commissioning advances, feedgas volumes have surged, recently reaching roughly 300 MMcf/d as refrigeration systems and liquefaction trains stabilize. These early flows are typical as operators calibrate equipment before sustained production begins. Golden Pass LNG—
