European LNG Sendout Increases to Cover Missing Norwegian Supplies

LNG

Net European LNG import flows have increased with the return of French terminals and with increased demand due to the reduction in imports from Norway due to field maintenance.

  • Total European sendout was up at 499mcm/d on 18 Apr having only seen higher imports briefly in March and December when flows reached around 530mcm/d.
  • Sendout from French terminals increased over the weekend as tanker started to unload after the strikes had halted operations from early March.
  • The sendout compares to around 430mcm/d seen in the first half of April and 416mcm/d in March.
  • The front month JKM-TTF spread remains relatively stable around -0.7$/mmbtu today with little sign of any significant pick up in demand from Asia yet.
    • TTF MAY 23 up 0.3% at 40.41€/MWh
    • JKM May 23 unchanged at 12.59$/mmbtu
    • JKM-TTF May 23 down -0.3$/mmbtu at -0.75$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas MAY 23 up 0.1% at 2.22$/mmbtu
