I don’t see our export volume in petroleum to be significant over the next couple decades.

In LNG export, competing with Russia and Australia along with transportation distance will keep Europe as a more profitable customer.

Fifteen years ago a world nat gas market was based US importing, now it will be based on exporting and being a transportation hub. Once the market is established, it can go any and everywhere. Is Japan going to shut down their nukes. Germany? China? They won't be building nukes in the USA until nat gas gets up to $5.50-$7.50. Windmills, solar and nukes all depend on the price of nat gas.

As for oil/gasoline/diesel, that depends on whether EVs/hybrids penetrate the market or gasoline/diesel is the route. We are exporting record amounts of gasoline and diesel. Or, the rising CAFE standards could be relaxed. Or, methane hydrate technology could be around the corner
