The US is becoming the largest exporter of liquid gas in the world. Second only to Russia in general….

The US, five years after becoming a net exporter of natural gas on an annual basis, has seen an incredible boom in its flow of blue gold abroad. Now the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has predicted that the United States will overtake Australia and Qatar to become the world's leading exporter of LNG, a liquefied gas, this year, averaging approximately 340 million cubic meters per day in 2022. . The United States is currently in second place in the world for exports of natural gas, behind only Russia, which however exports mainly in the gaseous state.

The EIA energy watchdog has predicted that pipeline exports of natural gas to Mexico and Canada will increase slightly, by 60 million cubic meters / d in 2022 and by just over one million / day in 2023, thanks to higher exports to Mexico.

For the first time ever, US LNG exports outstripped natural gas exports via pipelines on an annual basis in 2021. Monthly LNG exports continuously set new records in 2021, and this winter averaged over 300 million mc / d, a good 60 million mc / d more than last winter. US LNG exports reached a new high of 320 m3 / d. United States in March 2022, thanks to the fact that the EU is increasingly turning to the United States after Russia invaded Ukraine. But all of this would not have been possible without the country's LNG export capacity increasing in 2021 with the addition of Sabine Pass Train 6 and capacity expansion at the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi LNG export terminals.

The United States is set to become the country with the largest LNG export capacity in the world once the new Calcasieu Pass liquefied gas export plant is put into service by the end of 2022. Demand continues from Asia and Europe pushes liquid investments, while Mexico absorbs natural gas through pipelines.

Do you think the war in Ukraine is doing the US good or bad from an economic point of view? I leave you to judge.
