Surging global demand for natural gas and the buildout of a new Louisiana export terminal highlighted a record-setting March for United States gas producers, according to London Stock Exchange Group data.

In March, U.S. producers exported nearly 9.25 percent more liquefied natural gas (LNG) than they did in December 2024, surpassing the previous export record set less than three months ago.
