The demand of natural gas for conversion into LNG is focused on the United States Gulf Coast (USGC). Similarly, the growth of such demand is expected to steadily increase over the next five years. This is because there is approximately US$18.0 billion to be invested in planned LNG facilities in Texas and Louisiana. Furthermore, an additional US$7.9 billion is related to announced facilities which could further increase natural gas demand. Given the Haynesville proximity to the Gulf Coast, the natural gas produced will have easy access to market. Especially key are the LNG plants which will depend on gas produced in the region.

Prime location makes Haynesville shale attractive to investors

Haynesville shale play is spread across Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, covering an area of around 9,000 sq. miles. Importantly, the strategic location of this shale play is ideal. It is near to some of the world’s largest petrochemical complexes, LNG export facilities, and importantly, the Gulf of Mexico. This proximity makes it one of the most revenue-generating shale plays in the US. Also, the key facilities around the shale formation help in rapid ‘spud-to-sale’ cycle time. Because of this it is even more attractive to the investors. In 2018 the most active producing areas in the Haynesville shale were De Soto, Caddo, Red River, and Bossier parishes in Louisiana and San Augustine County in Texas.
