U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Impact Report
|
This IHS report is an effective tool to:
- Evaluate competitive domestic supply costs and production/ reserve forecasts
- Identify near-term market niches and position imports to support long-term growth
- Support financial investments, sales portfolio strategy development and partner interests
- Quantify the impact of multiple and/or alternate LNG import terminals on the U.S. gas markets

Overview
North America has traditionally relied on indigenous sources of natural gas for fuel that is clean, efficient and relatively abundant across the continent. In the decades ahead, however, local supplies of this energy resource may not be able to keep pace with the overall demand. We currently produce about one third of the world’s daily gas supply from only about five percent of the world’s gas reserves. How can North America access the huge gas supplies located in other parts of the planet? Many believe that liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the answer. Yet these developments normally require huge financial investments and long-term contracts to mitigate the economic risk involved. Using the supply/demand balance for gas in North America, this report addresses the timing, volume, and other issues affecting the LNG business.
Sample North American gas production forecasts at multiple drilling and import levels.
