U.S. LNG exports in EIA's AEO2021 side cases vary with crude oil, natural gas prices

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2021 (AEO2021) projects that the volume of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports through 2050 will span a wide range based on its published side cases.

LNG exports vary across cases from approximately 8 Bcf/d to more than 27 Bcf/d, which illustrates how the volume of LNG exports depends on crude oil and domestic natural gas prices. More »
