US NATURAL GAS reserves are declining at an increasing rate. Natural gas imports from Canada, the US's primary source of gas imports, are also decreasing as a result of the country's own declining production. As a result, there is an unprecedented push toward the increased use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a major US source. "Demand is growing and supply has been basically flat to declining and it is beginning to decline at a faster rate," said Allen Brooks, oil services analyst with CIBC World Markets in Houston. "The natural gas shortage was covered by imports from Canada but their production is also declining."
