• In May 2021, dry natural gas production increased year over year for the month, after 12 consecutive months of year-over-year decreases. The preliminary level for dry natural gas production in May 2021 was 2,864 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 92.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). This level was 4.6 Bcf/d (5.2%) higher than the May 2020 level of 87.8 Bcf/d. Both gross withdrawals and marketed production also increased from May 2020:
  
  • Gross withdrawals: 3,500 Bcf for the month, or 112.9 Bcf/d
    • Up 6.1% compared with 106.4 Bcf/d in May 2020
    • Highest for the month since we began tracking them in 1980
  • Marketed production: 3,109 Bcf for the month, or 100.3 Bcf/d
  • Up 6.0% compared with 94.6 Bcf/d in May 2020
  
  
  • Highest for the month since we began tracking it in 1973
• Estimated natural gas consumption in May 2021 was 2,100 Bcf, or 67.7 Bcf/d. This level was 0.9 Bcf/d (1.4%) higher than the May 2020 level of 66.8 Bcf/d. Natural gas consumption was the second highest for the month since we began using the current definitions for consuming sectors in 2001.
• The year-over-year average daily rate of consumption of dry natural gas in May 2021 increased in two of the four consuming sectors and decreased in the other two. Deliveries of natural gas by consuming sector in May 2021 were as follows:
  
  • Residential deliveries: 216 Bcf for the month, or 7.0 Bcf/d
    • Down 8.1% compared with 7.6 Bcf/d in May 2020
  • Commercial deliveries: 181 Bcf for the month, or 5.8 Bcf/d
  • Up 12.4% compared with 5.2 Bcf/d in May 2020
  • Industrial deliveries: 661 Bcf for the month, or 21.3 Bcf/d
  • Up 5.8% compared with 20.2 Bcf/d in May 2020 7
  • Electric power deliveries: 816 Bcf for the month, or 26.3 Bcf/d
  • Down 2.2% compared with 26.9 Bcf/d in May 2020
• Net natural gas imports (imports minus exports) were -370 Bcf, or -11.9 Bcf/d, in May 2021, making the United States a net natural gas exporter. The average daily rate of net imports was the lowest for any month since we began tracking imports and exports in 1973, as the United States exported 2.8 times more natural gas than it imported in May 2021. The average daily rate of natural gas exports was the highest for the month since we began tracking monthly exports in 1973. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in May 2021 were up 73.1% compared with May 2020. The average daily rate of LNG exports was also the highest for the month since we began tracking LNG in 1997. In May 2021, the United States exported 10.2 Bcf/d of LNG to 31 countries. Natural gas imports and exports in May 2021 were as follows:
  
  • Total imports: 205 Bcf for the month, or 6.6 Bcf/d
    • Up 9.6% compared with 6.0 Bcf/d in May 2020
  • Total exports: 575 Bcf for the month, or 18.5 Bcf/d
    • Up 45.6% compared with 12.7 Bcf/d in May 2020
