October Natural Gas Monthly, containing data for August 2025

  • In August 2025, dry natural gas production increased year over year for the sixth straight month. Preliminary dry natural gas production in August 2025 was 3,382 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 109.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Production was 5.9% (6.0 Bcf/d) higher in August 2025 than in August 2024 (103.1 Bcf/d). Dry natural gas production was the highest for any month since 1973, the earliest year in this data set. Gross withdrawals also increased from August 2024:
    • Gross withdrawals: 4,078 Bcf for the month, or 131.5 Bcf/d
      • A 5.9% increase compared with August 2024 (124.2 Bcf/d)
      • Highest daily rate for any month since 1980, the earliest year in this data set
  • Estimated natural gas consumption in August 2025 was 2,642 Bcf, or 85.2 Bcf/d
    • A 3.0% decrease compared with August 2024 (87.9 Bcf/d)
  • The year-over-year average daily rate of dry natural gas consumption in August 2025 decreased in three of the four consuming sectors. Natural gas deliveries by consuming sector in August 2025 were:
    • Residential deliveries: 103 Bcf for the month, or 3.3 Bcf/d
      • A 2.8% decrease compared with August 2024 (3.4 Bcf/d)
    • Commercial deliveries: 153 Bcf for the month, or 4.9 Bcf/d
      • A 2.7% increase compared with August 2024 (4.8 Bcf/d)
      • Highest daily rate of commercial deliveries for the month since we began using the current methodology in 2001
    • Industrial deliveries: 694 Bcf for the month, or 22.4 Bcf/d
      • A 0.6% decrease compared with August 2024 (22.5 Bcf/d)
      • Second-highest daily rate of industrial deliveries, despite this decrease, for the month since we began using the current methodology in 2001
    • Electric power deliveries: 1,409 Bcf for the month, or 45.5 Bcf/d
      • A 5.8% decrease compared with August 2024 (48.3 Bcf/d)
  • Net natural gas imports (imports minus exports) were -523 Bcf, or -16.9 Bcf/d, in August 2025. This net import volume was the lowest for any month since we began tracking net imports in 1973, making the United States a net natural gas exporter. The United States exported 3.2 times more natural gas than it imported in August 2025. The daily rate of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in August 2025 was 23.9% higher than the daily rate in August 2024 and was the highest for the month since we began tracking LNG exports in 1997. In August 2025, the United States exported 14.5 Bcf/d of LNG to 32 countries. Natural gas imports decreased while exports increased year over year in August 2025:
    • Total imports: 238 Bcf for the month, or 7.7 Bcf/d
      • An 8.8% decrease compared with August 2024 (8.4 Bcf/d)
    • Total exports: 761 Bcf for the month, or 24.5 Bcf/d
      • A 17.1% increase compared with August 2024 (21.0 Bcf/d)
      • Highest daily rate of natural gas exports for any month since we began tracking them in 1973
