Demand for US LNG supplies may rise with uncertain Egypt export plans after gas production disruption due to the conflict in Israel. Feedgas flows to US LNG export facilities are today estimated at 13.3bcf/d according to Bloomberg with strong supplies to Sabine Pass and despite Cove Point LNG maintenance.

  • Feedgas intake into US LNG terminals has risen on the day to 4.856 bcf/d. Although below the 5.069 bcf/d registered Oct. 8, it remains the second highest daily intake since late April.
  • Domestic natural gas demand is holding above normal at 69.1bcf/d today according to Bloomberg with a mixed two week weather forecast. Below normal temperatures are expected in central and eastern areas in the 6-10 day period before warmer weather starts to spread in from the west into the second week of the outlook.
  • US domestic natural gas production was up to the highest since early September at 102.3bcf/d yesterday according to Bloomberg with output gradually recovering from slightly lower levels in recent weeks.
