The Race to Compute: Is Natural Gas the Answer to the AI Power Crunch?
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers is sparking an unprecedented race for power across North America. As tech giants and developers face long power grid interconnection queues, regulatory hurdles and supply chain bottlenecks, the urge to decouple timelines from traditional power grids is driving a major shift toward on-site generation. In this evolving landscape, natural gas is cementing its role as an essential, highly reliable anchor for digital infrastructure and energy security. In this episode of NGI’s Hub & Flow, host Christopher Lenton sits down with GPC Infrastructure CCO Gauri Potdar, CFA, to explore how on-site natural gas generation is reshaping the data center sector. The conversation covers the reality versus hype of project announcements, critical supply chain constraints around turbines and transformers, community and regulatory dynamics surrounding midterms, and the strategic advantage of affordable US supply.

Permian, Pipelines, Power: Esentia CEO on Why US-Mexico Energy Ties Are Too Big to Fail
The cross-border natural gas trade between the United States and Mexico is firing on all cylinders, driven by surging power generation, industrial expansion and the hunt for reliable energy security. Despite near-term price volatility at the Waha header and evolving domestic policy under Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, pipeline flows from West Texas continue to set records as Mexican natural gas demand outpaces broader economic activity. At the same time, mounting geopolitical friction in the Middle East has upended the global LNG market, pushing prices higher amid tightening supply and rising geopolitical risks. The turmoil underscores the importance of reinforcing Mexico’s access to US natural gas for domestic use and west coast exports. In this episode of NGI’s Hub & Flow podcast, NGI’s Christopher Lenton sits down with Esentia Energy CEO Daniel Bustos to unpack the state of Mexican natural gas dynamics. Bustos discusses the outlook for Waha pricing, the massive power demand coming from emerging data centers and the industrial sector, the potential for Pacific Coast LNG exports, and why the deep codependence between US upstream producers and Mexican midstream networks makes cross-border energy trade indispensable.

LNG, Oilsands, AI: Canada’s Top Natural Gas Producer Assesses What Comes Next
The Western Canadian natural gas market is undergoing a major structural shift as new export capacity and domestic demand growth begin to reshape the basin’s supply and demand dynamics. Although a warm Pacific Northwest winter and temporary US West Coast dislocations have kept near-term AECO prices muted, the ramp-up of LNG Canada and an emerging wave of local industrial demand are laying the groundwork for a significantly tighter market. As producers navigate pipeline congestion and volatile regional basis, the long-term outlook hinges on balancing disciplined capital allocation against massive future energy needs. In this episode of NGI’s Hub & Flow podcast, NGI’s Christopher Lenton and Andrew Baker discuss shifting Canadian market dynamics with Canada’s biggest natural gas producer. Tourmaline Oil’s Vice President of Capital Markets Jamie Heard dissects what could drive AECO pricing higher, including the outlook for LNG Canada’s full operational impact and under-the-radar demand from both Alberta’s oilsands and behind-the-meter data centers.

25,000 Miles of New Natural Gas Pipelines by 2050? What It Will Take to Meet Growing US Demand
As surging demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, power generation, reshoring manufacturers and global LNG exports pushes North America’s energy needs to record heights, natural gas midstream infrastructure in the United States is hitting a critical wall. While the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) projects a need for 25,000 miles of new pipeline by 2050 — even under a low-carbon scenario — long-standing regulatory hurdles, litigation and supply chain delays threaten to constrain critical markets, which could lead to greater natural gas price volatility. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI’s Christopher Lenton sits down with INGAA CEO Amy Andryszak to dissect the key drivers and obstacles shaping the future of North American energy transport. From legislative changes and regulatory reform, to navigating steel tariffs and intense competition for natural gas turbines, the discussion outlines what it would take to build the infrastructure required to fuel the continent.

Heat Wave Bear Market? Inside the US Natural Gas Summer Paradox
For much of mid-2026, sweltering summer heat waves and soaring electricity demand across the United States failed to ignite a sustained rally in natural gas pricing, with Henry Hub futures continuing to face downward pressure. While conventional wisdom points to hot weather driving up prompt month contracts, expanding renewable generation and stubborn associated gas production from oil-heavy basins have steadily altered summer supply-demand balances. As total US storage inventories hover comfortably above historical averages ahead of peak hurricane season, the market faces a delicate balancing act: Can growing LNG feedgas demand and future data center load offset an influx of gassier supply, or could infrastructure limits cap upside potential heading into winter? In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI's Christopher Lenton sits down with Senior Editor Andrew Baker to break down the summer trends, structural bottlenecks and regional price disconnects redefining the US natural gas landscape. The conversation explores why record heat isn't translating to higher Henry Hub prices, how rapid wind and solar growth are reshaping traditional EIA storage injections, and why associated gas from high oil prices is acting as a soft cap on upside momentum. Baker also shares key insights into mid-summer LNG feedgas volatility, the reality of artificial intelligence-driven data center demand versus power grid constraints, and the key regional basis spreads to watch from Waha and the Northeast to the Desert Southwest.
