Invasion USA

The U.S. natural gas market has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, evolving from a country importing a significant portion of the natural gas consumed to becoming one of the world’s leading exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Driven by the shale revolution, massive investments in production, pipelines, and export LNG terminals has positioned the U.S. natural gas industry to meet the rapidly growing global demand, particularly in Europe and Asia. Scott Potter of RBN Energy will examine how the growth in U.S. natural gas production has reshaped domestic and international energy markets, the infrastructure expansion enabling future export growth, and the key opportunities and challenges facing the U.S. natural gas industry in the years ahead. Drawing on RBN Energy’s market analysis, the presentation will also explore how rising LNG exports affect natural gas prices, producers, consumers, and investors.

Attend this talk and learn…
  • How the shale revolution quickly transformed the United States from an importer of natural gas into one of the world's largest LNG exporters.
  • Why billions of dollars have been invested and billions more are being invested in LNG export terminals and pipelines, and how this infrastructure buildout is expected to drive future natural gas production and price.
  • What expanding LNG exports mean for investors, including their impact on natural gas prices, energy companies, global energy security, and the evolving balance between domestic and international markets.
