The February Natural Gas Monthly, with data through December 2017, has been released.

• In December 2017, for the seventh consecutive month, dry natural gas production increased year-to-year from the same month a year ago. The preliminary level for dry natural gas production in December 2017 was 2,427 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 78.3  Bcf/day. This level was 7.1 Bcf/day (10.0%) higher than the December 2016 level of 71.2 Bcf/day. The average daily rate of dry natural gas production for December was the highest for any month since EIA began tracking monthly dry production in 1973.
• The estimated natural gas consumption level in December 2017 was 3,067 Bcf, or 98.9 Bcf/day. This level was 7.0% (6.5 Bcf/day) higher than the 2,867 Bcf consumed in December 2016. Natural gas consumption for December was the highest level for the month since EIA began tracking monthly consumption using the current methodology in 2001.
• Year-over-year total consumption of dry natural gas in December 2017 increased in each of the four consuming sectors. Deliveries of natural gas by consuming sector in December 2017 were as follows:
  • Residential deliveries in December 2017 were 825 Bcf, or 26.6 Bcf/day, up 3.9% from 25.6 Bcf/day in December 2016. Residential deliveries were the highest for December since 2013.
  • Commercial deliveries in December 2017 were 488 Bcf, or 15.7 Bcf/day, up 5.6% from 14.9 Bcf/day in December 2016. Commercial deliveries were the highest for December since EIA began using the current definitions for consuming sectors in 1973.
  • Industrial deliveries were 759 Bcf, or 24.5 Bcf/day, up 3.5% from 23.6 Bcf/day in December 2016. Industrial deliveries were the highest for any month since EIA began using the current definitions for consuming sectors in 2001.
  • Electric power deliveries were 768 Bcf, or 24.8 Bcf/day, up 14.8% from 21.6 Bcf/day in December 2016. Electric power deliveries were the second-highest level for December since EIA began using the current definitions for consuming sectors in 2001.
• Natural gas net imports (imports minus exports) were -23.4 Bcf, or –0.76 Bcf/day, in December 2017. Total imports were 8.9 Bcf/day, a decrease of 1.7% from the 9.1 Bcf/day in December 2016. Total exports were 9.7 Bcf/day, an increase of 19.4% from the 8.1 Bcf/day in December 2016. The increase in exports continues to be driven by liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG exports in December 2017 were nearly double the level in December 2016. In December 2017, the United States exported 2.7 Bcf/day of LNG to 11 different countries.
