Henry Hub Extends Pull Back Amid Mild Weather Forecast

NATGAS

US Henry Hub front month is extending the pull back from late last week with a warm weather forecast and strong production offsetting an increase in LNG terminal feedgas flows while natural gas storage levels remain above normal.

    • US Natgas NOV 23 down -2.8% at 3.15$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas APR 24 down -1.8% at 3.2$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas OCT 24 down -1.5% at 3.53$/mmbtu
  • Natural gas deliveries to US LNG export facilities are today estimated up to the highest since April at 14.4bcf/d according to Bloomberg amid strong supplies to Sabine Pass relative to the flows seen in recent months.
  • US domestic natural gas demand is still holding above the seasonal five year average at 72.9bcf/d today according to Bloomberg but with the two week forecast generally showing slightly above normal temperatures. Below normal temperatures in eastern areas in the coming days are forecast to warm back towards normal from mid next week as warm weather in the west spreads across the country.
  • US domestic natural gas production is today estimated up at 102.9bcf/d according to Bloomberg having reached a new high of 103.6bcf/d yesterday. The Baker Hughes rig count on Friday showed US gas rigs holding relatively steady at 117 ahead of the updated EIA drilling productivity report for November due for release later today.
  • Export flows to Mexico are slightly down from last week at 6.1bcf/d.
