Production of shale gas and associated liquids shows little sign of abating in the US as yet, even after a sudden visual_editor5% fall in crude oil prices. And petrochemical producers, initially the fiercest critics of US LNG exports, are responding quickly and aggressively to lower-cost feed gas and gas condensates. Many now expect low US gas prices to stick around for at least a decade. But what is the expected rise in industrial gas demand in the US – particularly in chemical, petrochemical and other gas-driven manufacturing – and how will this affect Henry Hub prices and consequently LNG exports? Gas Strategies examines the rapid growth in US gas supply and demand now taking place, and assesses the effects on global gas markets.
