# Coronavirus slashed U.S. liquified natural gas exports by more than half

> US LNG deliveries to export facilities fell from a record 9.8 Bcf/d in late March to about 4 Bcf/d by June, as the pandemic and warm weather cut exports. Several US LNG projects remain awaiting approval or incomplete. Rystad projects global gas production to fall 2.6% this year.

Lower export demand keeps US gas prices depressed, reducing energy costs for nitrogen fertilizer and feed processing. The decline in global output could eventually support prices.
