Citing data from the National Energy Administration, China’s natural gas consumption is anticipated to increase this year by 6.5% to 7.7% over the previous year, potentially reaching 425 billion cubic meters. This year’s production increased significantly as well. Due to state enterprises’ new field start-ups that improve domestic output, it climbed by 6% over the…
Forecasts predicting higher demand over the next two weeks and increased flow to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants drove yesterday’s 0.21% increase in natural gas prices, which closed at 235.2. Prices jumped despite indications of heightened drilling activity and a notable excess supply in storage, underscoring the market’s susceptibility to supply dynamics and demand…
Due to expectations of increased demand over the next two weeks, natural gas saw a 4.02% increase in price yesterday, finishing at 186.3. The primary cause of this increase in demand was the increased feed gas to LNG export facilities, particularly with the reopening of Freeport LNG in Texas. A persistent drop in output has…
Yesterday’s natural gas price decrease of -0.07% to 146.8 was somewhat expected given the market’s ongoing struggles with a substantial surplus. However, expectations of milder weather for the coming week meant that demand for the commodity would likely increase, so the downside was limited. Prices were also somewhat supported by increased gas flow to LNG…
Due to outages at Freeport LNG’s Texas facility, ample gas supplies in storage, and lower expectations for gas flows to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants, natural gas prices fell 1.5% to settle at 150.9. Forecasts for milder weather over the next two weeks fueled the decline. Even lower than expected demand was the news…
With producers actively working to reduce output in the face of a difficult market, natural gas saw a significant increase of 3.7%, ultimately settling at 151.2. A dramatic drop in prices prompted Chesapeake Energy and other major gas producers, such as Antero Resources, Comstock Resources, and EQT, to announce large reductions to their 2024 output…
The mild winter weather, recent disruptions at LNG export plants, and a surge in production all contributed to the decline in natural gas prices, which closed at 151, down -1.82%. Analysts predict that due to the difficult market conditions, some producers may reduce their gas drilling operations. According to Baker Hughes, the number of gas…
The natural gas market saw a little increase of 0.15%, ending at 196.6, due to higher demand estimates and more gas flowing to LNG export plants. This spike happened in spite of record output levels, expectations of warm weather, and the expectation that next week’s heating demand will fall. The anticipated withdrawal of 55 billion…
After a federal report confirmed a storage build in line with market expectations, natural gas had a sharp decline of -3.61%, settling at 218. U.S. utilities increased their gas storage by 64 billion cubic feet (bcf), closely matching the predicted 67 bcf increase, according to the EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration). A 10-week low of…
The price of natural gas significantly increased by 4.54% to reach 237. This increase was linked to a decrease in daily gas output and an increase in gas flow to American LNG export terminals. According to data, gas production peaked in August at 102.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) and then decreased in September…
