Earlier this week, the EIA projected that global natural gas production will rise from an estimated 342 billion cubic feet per day in 2015 to 554 billion cubic feet per day in 2040.

Some 70 percent of that production will come from just six countries: the United States, Canada, China, Argentina, Mexico and Algeria.
