The U.S. is the world's largest producer of natural gas.

The United States has emerged as the world’s largest producer of natural gas, largely due to innovations in drilling technology, such as hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling. These advancements have unlocked vast shale gas reserves, especially in regions like Texas, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota. As a result, the U.S. has become a leading global supplier of natural gas, with increased production meeting both domestic energy needs and driving exports. This shift has also contributed to a cleaner energy mix, as natural gas is used for electricity generation, reducing reliance on coal.
