据天然气加工2021年7月7日报道，美国能源信息署(EIA)在其最新一期的短期能源展望(STEO)报告中表示，今年美国的天然气产量将增加，而需求量将下降。
EIA预计今年美国干气日产量将从去年的958.1亿立方英尺上升到969.9亿立方英尺，2022年将升至996.3亿立方英尺。 相比之下，2019年为930.6亿立方英尺。
EIA在报告中还预计，今年美国天然气日消费量将从去年的832.5亿立方英尺下降至823.2亿立方英尺，然后在2022年升至828.7亿立方英尺。 这与2019年851.5亿立方英尺的创纪录高位形成了鲜明对比。
与6月份STEO预测的921.8亿立方英尺/天的产量和828.5亿立方英尺/天的需求相比，7月份EIA对今年的天然气产量预测更高，而对需求预测更低。

U.S. natural gas production to rise in 2021 as demand falls
U.S. natural gas production will increase in 2021 and demand will fall, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
The EIA projected dry gas production will rise to 96.99 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2021 from 95.81 bcfd in 2020 before rising to 99.63 bcfd in 2022. That compares with 93.06 bcfd in 2019.
The agency also projected gas consumption would fall to 82.32 bcfd in 2021 from 83.25 bcfd in 2020, and then rise to 82.87 bcfd in 2022. That compares with a record high of 85.15 bcfd in 2019.
The EIA's projections for 2021 in July were higher for supply and lower for demand than its June forecasts of 92.18 bcfd for supply and 82.85 bcfd for demand.
