Abstract
The United States Natural Gas Market has moved through some very dynamic events over the past few years.The fact that ninety-eight percent of all gas consumed in the US comes from the North American Continent plays a large part in the lack of stability in pricing of Natural Gas.The nature of the production stream feeding the demand for gas has changed drastically in the past decade.The potential demand for gas during peak usage periods of each year has changed dramatically and the maturity of the available gas development projects have all led to a greatly different market than ten years ago.
This paper will update the status of the US Gas market; the state of US production, the change in demand for gas as prices change, estimations for the potential expansion of gas supply and the need for imported gas from outside of the North American continent.
