NATGAS

Henry Hub front month has fallen to the lowest since 26 March weighed on by the delayed restart of the Freeport LNG terminal, storage levels well above the seasonal normal and above normal weather.

    • US Natgas MAY 24 down 6.5% at 1.53$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas OCT 24 down 1.4% at 2.54$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas APR 25 down 0.2% at 3.06$/mmbtu
  • Feedgas flows to US LNG terminals were slightly up on the day at 12.18bcf/d, compared from a revised 11.74bcf/d yesterday according to Bloomberg. Flows to the Freeport LNG are estimated at 0.08bcf/d on Friday, compared with 0.02bcf/d, suggesting all three trains are still offline. The US Freeport LNG export terminal reported a trip on the third liquefaction train according to a TCEQ filing Wednesday.

  • The EIA weekly gas inventories for the week ending Apr. 19 showed yesterday an injection of 92bcf compared to the expectation for an injection of 89bcf according to a Bloomberg survey and the seasonal normal injection of 58bcf. Gas stocks are now at 2,425 bcf, compared to the five-year average of 1,770 bcf.
  • US domestic natural gas production is slightly up on the day at 98.63bcf/d, up from 97.942bcf/d yesterday.
