Shale Insight: Lack of Pipes Leaves Appalachia Out of LNG Boom

Expand Energy, the country's largest natural gas producer, opened Shale Insight 2026 with a price forecast and a warning. Marcel Teunissen, Expand's Chief Financial Officer, predicted gas prices of $3.50 to $4.00 through 2030 and $4.00 to $4.50 from 2030 to 2035, with plenty of volatility along the way. The warning was that most of the new gas needed to meet Gulf Coast LNG demand won't come from Appalachia, because there aren't enough pipelines to get it there. The Haynesville will fill the gap instead.
