Appalachian Natural Gas Supply and Demand Economics (Latest June 2016)
U.S. Nat Gas prices nearing $2.50/MCF, rising with oil prices
Winter gas futures holding > $3.00/MCF, near-month futures spread increasing
Appalachian prices still constrained but still creeping up
LNG liquifaction and exports slowly ramping up.
Summer cooling demand predicted to be higher than in the past due to more gas on the grid.
Storage fill somewhat less robust than expected.
Production expected to remain flat or drop slightly.
Winter heating demand predicted to be higher than in the past due to more gas on the grid and due to colder non-El Nino winter.
This blog is about energy/ geology/policy/science/economics/environment/climate, by a geologist. Posts are professional opinions of the author but not meant to replace peer-reviewed papers. Some are based on reviews of literature but most include personal experience, mainly the ones related to oil and gas. They are updated often as new info becomes available. Please point out errors and I will fix if warranted. Energy issues are important and we should strive to understand them without bias.
