(BOE Report) – Exports of liquefied natural gas from Canada’s LNG Canada plant topped 1 million metric tons in April, setting a monthly record, according to LSEG data. * LNG Canada is the country’s first major LNG export facility and the first on North America’s West Coast, giving it direct access to Asia, the world’s largest LNG market. * All
(Oil Price) – China’s imports of liquefied natural gas this month are expected to be the lowest since 2018, based on data from Kpler, Bloomberg has reported, citing soaring prices. April LNG arrivals are seen at 3.5 million tons, which would also be a 30% drop on a year ago, the report said. An earlier report by Reuters pegged China’s LNG imports
(Oil Price) – Asia’s LNG imports slumped in March to the lowest level in seven years for the month as the closed Strait of Hormuz trapped the supply and Qatar declared force majeure following Iranian missile strikes on its LNG infrastructure. Asian imports of liquefied natural gas dropped by 4.3% from a year earlier to 21.12 million tons in March
(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – Texas has LNG export terminals. Louisiana has many. The United States is now the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. Mississippi, despite its Gulf Coast location and long history with energy infrastructure, has none. At first glance, that absence appears anomalous. Mississippi sits between two LNG powerhouses, has access to major
(BOE Report) – U.S. LNG exporters have so far offset the drop in shipments from Qatar following Iranian attacks on its facilities and the closure of key Middle East shipping lanes, ensuring that total supplies remain at record highs despite the war. The on-again, off-again peace talks with Iran mean that the repair of damaged Qatari liquefied natural gas export
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Louisiana didn’t just participate in the U.S. natural gas boom. It built the export engine that turned it global. A decade after the first cargo left Sabine Pass, the state is once again at the center of a new phase, one that looks less like a cyclical recovery and more like a structural resurgence of
(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – For most of the modern energy era, the United States was viewed as a permanent importer of natural gas. That assumption collapsed in 2016, when LNG cargo Asia Vision departed Louisiana’s Sabine Pass terminal, marking the first large‑scale export of shale‑era U.S. natural gas. In less than a decade, the United States
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Eurasia holds some of the largest natural gas resources in the world. The challenge has never been geology; it’s been access. From Russia’s vast reserves to Central Asia’s underdeveloped basins and the emerging potential of the Caspian and Eastern Mediterranean, Eurasia is rich in gas. Yet much of that supply remains constrained by infrastructure, geopolitics, and
(By Oil & Gas 360) – If oil built the global energy system, LNG is quietly rewriting it. The rise of liquefied natural gas is doing more than adding supply, it is transforming how energy moves across regions. Unlike pipeline gas, LNG creates a flexible, global market where cargoes can shift in response to price, demand, and geopolitical conditions. At
(Oil & Gas 360) – The Middle East remains the center of gravity in global energy, but it is no longer viewed as a stable foundation. It is now both the system’s anchor and its primary fault line. No other region combines scale, cost advantage, and spare capacity the way the Middle East does. Saudi Arabia and the UAE continue
(Investing) – SINGAPORE/LONDON – The first full day of a U.S. blockade on vessels calling at Iranian ports made little difference to Strait of Hormuz traffic on Tuesday, with at least eight ships including three Iran-linked tankers, crossing the waterway, shipping data showed. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the blockade on Sunday after weekend peace talks in Islamabad between the U.S.
(Oil & Gas 360) – – Energy Advisors’ latest review covering Seven Top U.S. Resource Plays points to a broader shift underway in shale. Gas-weighted basins are starting to re-accelerate driven by LNG and power demand, while oil plays are increasingly driven by capital discipline and inventory depth. These plays—Appalachia, Haynesville, Permian (Delaware and Midland), Bakken, Eagle Ford, and SCOOP/STACK—now make up
