Texas is the United States' Number One Natural Gas Producer

Texas' energy efficiency in oil production is well known, but it is also a major natural gas player, outproducing Pennsylvania by 26 percent in 2018. From 2010 to 2018, the number of natural gas producing wells in Texas decreased by almost three thousand (2.9 percent) while production increased 1.27 trillion cubic feet—18 percent. Gas production from January to October of 2019 was almost another trillion cubic feet higher—15 percent higher—than the same period last year. This natural gas production has aided Texas' liquefied-natural gas (LNG) business. The first LNG shipment from Texas was from Cheniere Energy's Corpus Christi facility in late 2018. Texas now has six LNG export facilities (trains) operating or planned for construction within the next 2 years, which will increase the U.S. export capacity to 10 billion cubic feet per day.
