With a surplus of U.S. gas, LNG terminals look to export markets

摘要

An anticipated boom in natural gas imports to the United States led to a flurry of new proposals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals, but the recent development of new techniques to extract natural gas from shale formations has turned the natural gas market upside down, with companies now seeking to build terminals to export LNG. The United States now has enough natural gas to supply over 100 years of use, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
