History

Historical Context

The U.S. shale gas revolution, which began around 2010, significantly boosted natural gas production by 50% from 2005 to 2015. This surge enabled increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, exemplified by Venture Global's $15.1 billion CP2 LNG project. Today, this positions the U.S. as a key LNG exporter, enhancing energy security and strengthening trade relations with the European Union.
