Gas & LNG: Northern Summer Fundamentals

Strong European LNG imports and the long-awaited boost from Plaquemines LNG defined the first half of 2025. Additional highlights include:
  • Higher natural gas and LNG prices across key markets, while Europe’s weaker contango reduced storage incentives.
  • Global LNG production up 4.8 Mt, or 2.3% year-on-year.
  • European weather extremes driving gas demand, with industry nearing growth territory.
  • In the US, gas prices recovered - first on production discipline, then on strong feedgas growth.
  • Egypt rapidly expanded regasification capacity to meet peak summer demand.
