Increase in LNG Feed Gas Consumption
On the other hand, consumption of LNG feed gas is clearly increasing with rising demand for exports to global markets.

According to statistics, global consumption of LNG feed gas reached 32 billion cubic meters last month, which is a 15 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
It seems that these changes in demand and prices will have serious implications for the energy market. As producers plan to respond to these fluctuations, it is expected that we will witness further changes in the structure of natural gas prices in the near future.
