January Natural Gas Monthly, containing data for November 2025

Note: This issue of the Natural Gas Monthly contains revisions to 2023 and 2024 data, benchmarking to the data published in the Natural Gas Annual 2024 and Electric Power Annual 2024.

• In November 2025, dry natural gas production increased year over year for the ninth straight month. Preliminary dry natural gas production in November 2025 was 3,303 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 110.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Production was 6.1% (6.3 Bcf/d) higher in November 2025 than in November 2024 (103.8 Bcf/d). Daily dry natural gas production was the highest for any month since 1973, the earliest year in this dataset. Gross withdrawals also increased from November 2024:
• Gross withdrawals: 4,023 Bcf for the month, or 134.1 Bcf/d
• A 6.0% increase compared with November 2024 (126.6 Bcf/d)
• Highest daily rate for any month since 1980, the earliest year in this data set
• Estimated natural gas consumption in November 2025 was 2,773 Bcf, or 92.4 Bcf/d
• A 2.3% increase compared with November 2024 (90.3 Bcf/d)
• The year-over-year average daily rate of dry natural gas consumption in November 2025 increased in three of the four consuming sectors. Natural gas deliveries by consuming sector in November 2025 were:
• Residential deliveries: 467 Bcf for the month, or 15.6 Bcf/d
• A 13.3% increase compared with November 2024 (13.7 Bcf/d)
• Commercial deliveries: 341 Bcf for the month, or 11.4 Bcf/d
• An 8.6% increase compared with November 2024 (10.5 Bcf/d)
• Industrial deliveries: 737 Bcf for the month, or 24.6 Bcf/d
• A 1.7% increase compared with November 2024 (24.2 Bcf/d)
• Second-highest daily rate of industrial deliveries for the month since we began using the current methodology in 2001
• Electric power deliveries: 945 Bcf for the month, or 31.5 Bcf/d
• A 4.3% decrease compared with November 2024 (32.9 Bcf/d)
• Net natural gas imports (imports minus exports) were -542 Bcf, or -18.1 Bcf/d, in November 2025. This net import volume was the lowest for the month since we began tracking net imports in 1973. The United States exported three times more natural gas than it imported in November 2025 as natural gas imports decreased while exports increased year over year:
• Total natural gas imports: 264 Bcf for the month, or 8.8 Bcf/d
• A 2.2% decrease compared with November 2024 (9.0 Bcf/d)
• Second-highest rate of natural gas imports, despite this decrease, for the month since 2010
• Total natural gas exports: 807 Bcf for the month, or 26.9 Bcf/d
• A 26.3% increase compared with November 2024 (21.3 Bcf/d)
• Highest daily rate of natural gas exports for any month since we began tracking them in 1973
• Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports: The daily rate of LNG exports in November 2025 was 39.6% higher than the daily rate in November 2024—the highest for any month since we began tracking LNG exports in 1997. In November 2025, the United States exported 17.5 Bcf/d of LNG to 31 countries.
