Source: EIA This Week The U.S. natural gas market turned sharply bearish following a strong U.S. Energy Information Administration storage report showing a +103 Bcf injection — well above expectations and the five-year average. Inventories rose to 2,063 Bcf, now ~137 Bcf above normal, reinforcing a loose near-term balance. Canadian production continues to push record highs, adding incremental supply pressure into an already well-supplied North American market. Globally, Wheat

Source: NOAA This week in natural gas and LNG delivered a sharp mix of bullish fundamentals and geopolitical disruption. A strong storage report (-54 Bcf) came in well below both last year’s +33 Bcf build and the five-year average of -21 Bcf, reinforcing a tightening supply backdrop. At the same time, the Iran conflict appears to be entering a terminal phase—but not before materially impacting global LNG flows. Qatar has declared force majeure on roughly 17% of its output fol

Source: Canadian Energy Regulator The global LNG race is accelerating—and Canada is finally moving from promise to execution. For Asia, the strategic shift is clear: diversify supply. Recent disruptions have reinforced the need to reduce reliance on concentrated exporters. Canada is increasingly positioned as a core pillar in that pivot. But the real story today is project status—and it’s changing fast. Canada is no longer just a pipeline of ideas: LNG Canada, Kitimat: Now op

Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas infrastructure triggered retaliation targeting Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex. Qatar’s declaration of Force Majeure—potentially extending 3–5 years—has sent shockwaves through global LNG supply chains, pushing international gas prices sharply higher and reintroducing structura

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—

The race to expand U.S. LNG export capacity is intensifying as developers advance projects under a supportive policy environment. Several...
