Natural gas deliveries by pipeline to U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities are called LNG feed gas. LNG feed gas averaged 12.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in the first six months of 2023, following the Freeport LNG terminal’s return to service, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights data. Over this period, LNG feed gas averaged 8%, or 1.0 Bcf/d, more than the 2022 annual average, and 4%, or 0.5 Bcf/d, more than the same six-month period in 2022.

LNG feed gas set a monthly record in April 2023 at 14.0 Bcf/d, supported by high international demand for U.S. LNG exports, particularly in Europe. LNG feed gas declined slightly in May and June, averaging 13.0 Bcf/d and 11.5 Bcf/d, respectively, primarily because of maintenance at several U.S. LNG export facilities, including Sabine Pass and Cameron.
