Market trends and growth drivers
Positioned to benefit from a projected ~25% increase in U.S. natural gas demand by 2031, driven by AI/data centers, new power plants, and LNG export growth.
Appalachia acreage is at the epicenter of AI-driven electricity growth, with up to 11.1 Bcf/d of incremental demand identified near its assets.
Haynesville assets are set to capitalize on U.S. LNG export capacity growth from ~17 Bcf/d to ~45 Bcf/d by 2031, with most exports targeting higher-priced Asian and European markets.
