US natural gas exports to Mexico reach record highs in June 2021

AJOT | July 16, 2021 | Energy News

Natural gas exports from the United States to Mexico surpassed 7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) on multiple days during June, according to pipeline data from Wood Mackenzie. The record high for the month was 7.4 Bcf/d on June 24. Increased power demand, high temperatures, and greater industrial demand, combined, drove the increased demand for natural gas. New pipeline additions have helped facilitate the increased volume of natural gas flowing to natural gas-fired power plants, industrial plants, and pipeline interconnections throughout Mexico.
