Market Snapshot: April 29, 2024
EIA: NATURAL GAS STORAGE A substantial injection of +92 Bcf kept pricing deflated for the near future. Part of that injection came from the almost total shutdown of the Freeport LNG facility due to maintenance issues. The facility, the second largest on the Gulf Coast, has a capacity of 2.6 Bcf/d in LNG exports but has not sent any ...

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION The Natural Gas Market remained essentially unchanged. Weakening weather demand and inconsistent LNG demand allowed pricing to stay low, and even production jumped about 2 Bcf/d last week to quash any chance of a market rally that would see significant price increases.

Energy Market Snapshot: April 8, 2024
NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION The Natural Gas market is undergoing a significant transformation, with drillers scaling back production. This has resulted in a consistent 4-5 weeks of production declines, culminating in last week’s output of less than 100 Bcf/d. This is a significant development, marking the lowest production levels since...

NATURAL GAS STORAGE We are now in the injection season with a substantial +669 Bcf surplus over the five-year average. This surplus and robust oil production numbers will likely keep prices relatively stable, hovering within a dollar or two of these prices until at least next spring. OUR GAS SURPLUS Production cuts are tak...

NATURAL GAS STORAGE The weather continues to be historically mild, with only occasional upticks that get erased quickly. There is no guarantee that next winter will continue to have record-breaking mild winters, and betting that we will continue to break the record for mild winters every year as we have the last two is a good way to get...

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION Gas Production continues to remain strong at 104 Bcf/d. This could result from Chesapeake Energy’s cutback in production, but that production slowdown is expected to take a few months to have an effect. RUSSIAN PIPELINES TO THE E.U. Believe it or not, some natural gas still flows from Russia to the E...

EIA NATURAL GAS STORAGE REPORT Only about five weeks are left in injection season, and we have solid storage numbers with a supply level of more than 22% over the five-year average. Expected storage by the end of injection season will be 1,800 Bcf, which is even better than last year’s numbers. NATURAL GAS TOTAL DEMAND WITH...

NATURAL GAS: NYMEX CALENDAR STRIPS The cost of Natural Gas continues to drop over the 12 months, and injection season is just around the corner on April 1st. We have seen a trend in the last few years where the current year is priced lower than the following years. So, looking at Natural Gas and Electricity, we see 2024 well below the f...

EIA: NATURAL GAS STORAGE REPORT Winter Storm Heather that crossed the USA over the last few weeks significantly increased the demand for gas and electricity, and the freezing temperatures put a large dent in production. During Winter Storm Heather, production dropped from just over 105 bcf/d to over 90 bcf/d. This helped increase the la...
