In 2024, the United States imported 3,145 billion cubic feet of natural gas. U.S. imports of natural gas strongly increased from the 1990s to the early 2000s and peaked around the mid-2000s. As the U.S. has increased its domestic production of natural gas, the need for imports has steadily declined, despite an overall growing demand for the energy source. Natural gas exports exceed imports While imports of natural gas have fallen since 2005, U.S. natural gas exports have risen dramatically, especially from 2015 onward. Around this time, demand for natural gas increased in part because of greater means of exporting gas in the form of LNG. Fracking since the financial crisis The expansion of LNG export terminals and decrease in imports were driven in large part by changes in the natural gas industry following the 2008 recession. As a peak in the OPEC crude oil price made purchasing oil more and more expensive, domestic oil and natural gas production took off. The U.S. Henry Hub natural gas price dropped as investors seized on low interest rates to develop alternative extraction methods, mainly through hydraulic fracturing (or fracking). This method is used to access natural gas and oil in formations that were previously difficult to reach, as well as to extend production in older oil and gas fields.

The process of underground gasification, on which other trials have been done overseas, consists in passing air through a coal seam burning under controlled conditions. There is no new problem in gaining access from the surface to the coal seam by means of boreholes or shafts whereby air can be supplied and the gas brought to the surface. The creation of a channel through the coal in which the burning reaction can be maintained is a new problem, and it is chiefly the cost of such channels and the amount of usable gas which can be produced from them which determines gas costs.
