natural gas

US natural gas production is projected to reach unprecedented levels through 2027, driven by output increases in Appalachia, Haynesville, and Permian regions, while midstream operators deploy billions in processing and LNG export infrastructure to capture growing supply.

Nigeria's compressed natural gas initiative reports 30% fare reductions but infrastructure deployment lags behind government targets, exposing implementation gaps despite securing over $2 billion in private investment.

As global liquefied natural gas capacity prepares for significant expansion between 2026-2030, Nigeria's underutilized gas reserves present both an opportunity and a challenge for the nation's energy sector and broader economic development.
