Asian Gas Demand & Ukraine Key Market Focus: Equinor CFO

NATGAS

Asian gas demand trends and the fate of Russian gas into Europe are key factors to monitor for market supply-demand balances, Torgrim Reitan, CFO at Norway's Equinor, said July 24, cited by Platts.

  • "Going forward, prices will depend on the weather, European demand and competition for LNG," Reitan said. "As expected, storage levels in Europe are healthy, but the market remains fragile. Small changes can give large fluctuations."
  • Reitan also said that Equinor expects industrial gas demand to rise around 10% to approximately 100 bcm.
  • Norway is now the largest single gas supplier to Europe. Production rose 13% on the year to average 744k boe/d in Q2.
  • Equinor’s realised European gas price averaged $9.94/MMBtu in Q2.
