Golden Pass LNG fires up: A New Wave in U.S. Export Growth
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—

Storage Economics: Why the April–January Gas Spread Is Flashing Bullish
Source: SuperGrok The natural gas April–January spread has widened to roughly $1.80 — and that move is speaking loudly. At current levels, the spread is brushing up against — and in some cases exceeding — implied underground storage costs along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Base rates have climbed into the $0.25–$0.35 per Dth per month range, with many contracts now clearing in the low $0.30s. Rising labor and material costs, combined with limited new build capacity, are structurally

One Gas Market Now: How U.S. LNG Is Forcing Global Price Convergence
Source: https://oilgas-info.jogmec.go.jp/nglng_en/ For decades, global gas markets moved to different rhythms. Europe followed TTF, Asia followed JKM, and carbon prices lived in their own universe. That fragmentation is fading fast. The reason is U.S. LNG. Unlike legacy LNG supply, U.S. cargoes generally lack destination clauses, allowing molecules to flow wherever netbacks are strongest. As U.S. export volumes scale higher, these flexible cargoes are increasingly arbitraging

Golden Pass LNG: When Supply Arrives Before the Ships
Source: Golden Pass Pipeline Golden Pass LNG was expected to begin loading its first cargoes from Train 1 as early as February 2026. Instead, the project appears to be moving through commissioning more slowly than many market participants had penciled in, pushing meaningful volumes further out on the calendar. That timing matters. U.S. dry natural gas production has climbed to roughly 113 Bcf/d, as producers positioned supply in anticipation of new LNG demand—Golden Pass bein

Europe’s Gas Alarm Bells: Why U.S. LNG Is Back in the Spotlight
Source: Samsung Heavy Industries Europe is starting 2026 with a growing energy vulnerability. Natural gas storage levels across the EU have slipped below 60%, with Gazprom data showing inventories at just 58.1% as of January 6. Germany—the region’s largest gas consumer—is in an even tighter position at 54.1%, well below last year’s levels. The drawdown has been swift. EU storage is 10.7 bcm lower than January 2025, driven by a powerful Arctic outbreak now gripping the contine
