In conversation with Charif Souki on How US Gas Rebalances Global Markets

In this episode of the Energy Perspectives Podcast, Charif Souki, Chairman, Phoenix Energy, joins Monika Simoes, CEO, Energy Dialogues, to discuss how U.S. oil and LNG have changed the global energy security picture.

Souki describes why recent disruption has not become a broader energy crisis, how flexible U.S. LNG capacity has changed the market, and why LNG is moving from destination-based supply toward a more liquid commodity model. He also explains Phoenix Energy's focus on low-cost American molecules, feedgas, infrastructure, and capacity on other terminals rather than another race to build liquefaction.
