Texas Still Dominates America's Natural Gas Production
U.S. gross natural gas withdrawals reached 47.7 trillion cubic feet in 2025, with a small group of states accounting for most of the total. Much of this output comes from prolific shale formations such as the Permian, Marcellus, Haynesville, and Eagle Ford.
This map, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, shows 2025 gross natural gas withdrawals by state and producing area using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with the latest available 2024 figures used for five states.
Gross withdrawals measure total well-stream production before processing, making them different from marketed or dry natural gas output.
Texas Produced Over a Quarter of U.S. Natural Gas
Texas led the country with 13,603 Bcf of gross withdrawals in 2025, equal to 28.5% of the national total. Pennsylvania followed at 7,676 Bcf, or 16.1%, meaning the two states together accounted for nearly 45% of U.S. withdrawals.
Their output is driven by some of No...

US Data Centers To Burn More Natural Gas Than Most Nations
Several weeks ago, we explained why most data center developers favor on-site gas power: it boiled down to two main reasons - availability (especially since modular nuclear power for commercial 'behind the meter' use is still in the distant future) and price. Furthermore, a recent BloombergNEF analysis shows the marginal cost of operating an on-site gas plant may be below industrial electricity tariffs, making continued generation from on-site assets the cheaper option in many cases.
As we discussed in late August, marginal generation costs depend on fuel prices and variable operating expenses. BloombergNEF modeled the marginal cost of operating engines, turbines and fuel cells at a mid-scenario gas price of $3.97 per million British thermal units. Gas engines, such as ones manufactured by Wartsila and INNIO, have the highest marginal cost, at $43.2 per megawatt-hour (MWh). Fuel cells, most prominently procured from Bloom Energ...

Australia sets LNG reserve rules to protect domestic supply and cap prices (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Australia introduced a liquefied natural gas reserve policy aimed at prioritizing domestic supply, while producers warned the rules could pressure prices if the market becomes oversupplied. The changes, scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2028, were reported by Bloomberg and Reuters as the government moved to secure gas for local buyers in the world's second-largest LNG exporting nation after Qatar....

EU NatGas Hits Highest Since 2022 As Low Storage Sets Stage For Winter Cold-Snap Price Shock (ZeroHedge)

EU NatGas Hits Highest Since 2022 As Low Storage Sets Stage For Winter Cold-Snap Price Shock
European natural gas futures hit their highest level since December 2022 (early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict) as domestic supplies remain well below the 15-year average. With the Northern Hemisphere winter approaching, the restocking phase may be jeopardized by maritime chokepoint madness across the Gulf and Red Sea, with the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab Strait under threat.
Dutch benchmark futures jumped as much as 5.3% to 83.67 euros a megawatt-hour early Monday. Prices have tripled so far this year, and the latest surge comes after Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was taken offline in recent days following a drone strike on pumping infrastructure.
Europe is heading toward the heating season with gas storage facilities just 68% full, well below the 15-year trend of about 85% for this time of year.
LNG arrivals into Western Europe retreated last week after an early-September recovery, ...
