During the first half of 2019, U.S. net natural gas exports averaged 4.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), which was more than double the average net exports in 2018 at 2.0 Bcf/d, according to the Energy Information Administration.
The U.S. became a net natural gas exporter on an annual basis for the first time in almost six decades in 2017.
Although the U.S. exports natural gas via pipeline to both Canada and Mexico, liquified natural gas exports accounted for much of the recent increase in total natural gas exports as a result of more LNG facilities coming online.
