At a time when LNG has become the world\u2019s most flexible instrument of energy statecraft, the decision by Aramco to lock in U.S. supply for two decades may speak to a deeper geopolitical recalibration underway in Riyadh.

In an irony unlikely to be lost on President Trump, U.S. firms have been providing assistance to Saudi Arabia in the development of its landmark Jafurah shale gas development since around 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sg.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/saudi-arabia-u-lng-deal-160000545.html\">Oil Price Dot Com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saudi Aramco is buying U.S. LNG!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wattsupwiththat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/now-thats-funny-i-dont-care-who-you-are.jpg?resize=454%2C600&amp;quality=83&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10440901\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nine years ago, when U.S. LNG exports were in their infancy, I authored this post:<\/p>\n<p>Can the U.S. Become the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas?<\/p>\n<p>In April 2017, I noted that the total capacity of existing, under construction, approved and proposed LNG export facilities was 44 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf\/d).
