Natural Gas: United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2023 and 2027 US natural gas demand and production in cubic feet. Total demand is segmented by market in terms of: electric power; industrial; residential; commercial; and other markets such as lease, plant, and vehicle fuel.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total demand, total production, the various demand segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022.

Reported demand figures reflect the volume of natural gas delivered to consumers, in addition to that consumed as lease fuel, plant fuel, and for pipeline and distribution use. Production refers to dry natural gas production, also known as consumer-grade natural gas. Dry natural gas production excludes natural gas liquids such as plant liquids and lease condensate that are removed from the gas stream at processing plants. Re-exports of natural gas are excluded from demand and trade figures.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
