"Net imports of natural gas continue at much lower levels than inprevious years, likely as a result of higher U.S. domestic productionand relatively low gas prices. During the report week, netCanadian imports averaged 5.3 Bcf per day, which is 20.7 percent lowerthan the same week in 2010. Sendout from U.S. liquefied natural gas(LNG) import terminals averaged about 1.1 Bcf per day during the reportweek, or 8.2 percent lower than the same week in 2010. The lower levelof U.S. LNG imports this year is the result of much higher prices beingavailable to suppliers of LNG in regional markets in Europe and Asia.Following the nuclear crisis in Japan (which will likely result inhigher demand for LNG) and conflict in North Africa, the difference inprices in the United States and other world markets has increased evenmore. Currently, however, the extent to which this will affect futuredeliveries of LNG to the United States is unclear."
