However, losses were limited by forecasts of colder weather, which is…
Natural gas prices dropped by 3.57% to ₹240.3, despite a smaller-than-expected storage injection by US utilities. Concerns over potential disruptions in US natural gas production eased as tropical storms moved away from the Gulf of Mexico. Baker Hughes reported a 3 to 102 increase in rig drilling activity. Storage injections have been at record lows,…
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 of warmer-than-usual weather over the next several weeks are expected to generate higher demand for air cooling, which helped natural gas prices rise by 2.94% yesterday and settle at 196. The weather forecast encouraged market optimism because rising temperatures usually lead to a greater requirement for electricity generation for cooling purposes, increasing natural gas…
The government is pushing for more gas-based energy to meet the increasing power demand of domestic businesses and power plants.
