This also supports the increase of US LNG exports to international markets, it said. 

According to the statement, the US will export a record 12.2bcf/d of natural gas this year. It became the world’s biggest LNG supplier in 2023 and has stayed ahead of recent leaders Australia and Qatar. 

Offshore Technology reported in March that the US was responsible for almost half of the EU’s and the UK’s LNG imports in 2023, solidifying its position as the largest supplier for the third consecutive year. 

When compared with other continents, the US supplied the highest volume of LNG to Europe. In 2021, the US contributed 2.4bcf/d, making up 27% of total European LNG imports.  

According to the US Energy Information Agency, US exports increased to 44% (6.5bcf/d) in 2022 and 48% (7.1bcf/d) in 2023.
