Exploring Major Developments in North American Natural Gas
The next four years will reshape the future of North America’s natural gas market. LNG exports are set to surge again as new terminals across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico come online, driving ripple effects through global energy trade and fueling new demand from Europe and Asia. At the same time, the explosive rise of artificial intelligence and the data centers powering it are creating unprecedented growth in electricity demand, much of which will be met by natural gas. The scale of what is coming, on both the export and domestic fronts, is staggering and will depend on a vast buildout of infrastructure from the Permian to the Gulf Coast. This February, join us for GasCon, where industry leaders and market experts will connect the dots between upstream production, midstream expansion, and downstream demand to reveal what is next for the global gas market.
Meeting the LNG Export Challenge: Will There Be Enough Natural Gas?
The last four years of this decade will be among the most consequential yet for North America’s natural gas market. Exports of LNG — which have been the most transformative force in global energy over the past decade — are set to surge again as new terminals in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico come online. The ripple effects will be felt worldwide as European and Asian buyers recalibrate their import priorities and long-term supply strategies. And there’s still more to come. But as monumental as LNG is — and will be — the biggest headlines over the past year have centered on the explosive growth of artificial intelligence and the wave of data centers driving unprecedented power demand. Much of that new load will ultimately be served, directly or indirectly, by incremental gas-fired generation. The potential is enormous but realizing it will require overcoming significant challenges in infrastructure, permitting, and power delivery. All of that growth — on both the export and domestic fronts — depends on a vast and steady supply of low-cost natural gas. U.S. and Canadian producers have proven remarkably adept at pushing output ever higher, but the scale of what’s needed to meet future demand is staggering.
By 2030, the market may require as much as 25% more gas production than in 2024. The Permian will continue to lead the charge with rising volumes of associated gas, and the Haynesville will do its part as well — but additional supply will need to come from other key producing basins that will be increasingly called on to help close the supply/demand gap. Underscoring it all is an extraordinary wave of midstream investment that will gather, process, transport, and deliver gas from the wellhead to the burner tip – in North America and across the globe. The buildout now underway is reshaping the natural gas market from the inside out, and the epicenter of that transformation is, without question, the U.S. Gulf Coast. Next spring, join us for GasCon, where we’ll bring together expert analysis and leading executives from the upstream, midstream, and downstream to show how it all f its together, and to share alternative outlooks what is going to happen next.
Upstream. Midstream. Downstream.
GasCon is RBN’s one-day deep dive into everything shaping the North American natural gas market — from production and pipelines to power demand, LNG exports, and beyond. The event brings together RBN’s top analysts and leading executives from across the industry for a fast-paced day of insight, data, and discussion. You’ll hear detailed market outlooks from RBN analysts covering every corner of the gas value chain, along with interactive panels led by RBN staff featuring decision-makers from upstream, midstream, and downstream companies. Plus, you won’t want to miss keynote sessions from some of the industry’s most influential voices. GasCon 2026 will be held Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at the Hilton Americas–Houston, 1600 Lamar St., Houston, TX. Mark your calendar — it’s going to be a can’t-miss event for anyone involved in the energy business.
