US natural gas is expected to reach the $3 mark as soon as next year as electricity-hungry data centers drive demand for the power-plant fuel, according to law firm Haynes and Boone LLP.

An unseasonably mild North American winter and ample supplies sank US gas futures to within six cents of a 28-year low in recent months, heightening concerns about so-called borrowing bases among drillers, according to Haynes and Boone’s survey of private equity firms, energy producers and oilfield-service companies.
