Summary

The surge in US LNG exports and pipeline gas exports to Mexico is only getting underway. As both grow, they will have a significant impact on US gas prices, Mexican gas balances, and the rapidly evolving changes in global LNG balances. At the same time, radical shifts in the US market have prompted increased pricing volatility, which will likely have a trickle-down impact into the global natural gas market. Over the next 12 months, these changes heighten the risk to the gas price outlook in ways ranging from the wellhead in West Texas to the burner tip in London and Beijing.

Join S&P Global Platts Editors and Analyst for this LNG webinar. Hear current market dynamics, industry pricing updates, developments and changes in the markets, recent news in the natural gas industry, and submit questions to our team of LNG and Natural Gas specialists as they discuss the topics below

  • The outlook for US LNG and gas pipeline exports

  • The emerging role of Platts US GCM and Asian JKM LNG Pricing

  • The growing daily connection between US and Mexican gas markets.
