NGI's Hub & Flow NGI: Natural Gas Intelligence

CEO Amy Andryszak of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America sits down with NGI's Carolyn Davis, managing editor of News, to share the opportunities and the concerns ahead for natural gas operators. Natural gas consumption is tracking higher, with industrial, commercial and residential use growing. Data centers are on the radar, as are expanded LNG exports. The question is, can natural gas pipeline capacity keep pace in light of the regulatory hurdles operators have to jump?

Join NGI's Patrick Rau, senior vice president of Research & Analysis, for his quarterly review of North American natural gas earnings calls as he discusses the possibility of EQT Corp. reversing output cuts. Other factors are expected to influence markets at the start of summer, including a slowdown in merger and acquisition approvals. Plus, the latest on data center opportunities and updates on Canada and Mexico.

Mexicans head to the polls this weekend in the biggest election in the country's history, with over 20,000 positions up for grabs and the near certainty that citizens will elect Mexico’s first female president. Claudia Sheinbaum of the establishment Morena party is the favorite against opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez. Each offers a distinct vision for the country's future. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI’s senior editor for Mexico and Latin America, Christopher Lenton, chats with natural gas expert Eduardo Prud'homme on both candidates' main policy positions. They also get into the energy deficits in Mexico, U.S.-Mexico natural gas trade, and what the country’s gas market could look like under the potential future administrations, along with a lot more.

In this episode of NGI’s Hub and Flow, NGI’s Carolyn Davis, managing editor, is joined by Carson Kearl, the lead analyst for Enverus Intelligence Research about data centers and advanced energy technologies. Power generation for the energy-intensive centers is expected to grow across the Lower 48 by double-digits in the next few years, and Kearl shares recent Enverus research on the implications for the domestic natural gas market.

Neil Chatterjee, a former FERC chairman and commissioner, joins NGI’s Jamison Cocklin, managing editor of LNG, to discuss the political and regulatory aspects of President Biden’s pause on authorizing new liquefied natural gas export projects.
 
Chatterjee, currently an environmental and energy attorney at Hogan Lovells in Washington, DC, discusses the legality of the pause, the U.S. LNG review process and the deadlock at FERC that’s slowing down projects like Venture Global LNG Inc.’s CP2 facility. 

Energy and environmental policy expert Chris Treanor, executive director of the Partnership to Address Global Emissions (PAGE), joins NGI Senior Editor of LNG Jacob Dick to recap some of the highlights from CERAWeek by S&P Global in Houston and what could be ahead for the natural gas industry during this election year. Treanor and Dick discuss the need for constructive policies around LNG and natural gas generally, in order to meet climate goals while protecting energy security for the United States and its allies. Treanor shares his reaction to comments made by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm at the conference, as well as his thoughts on the Biden administration’s pause of LNG export approvals.
