NATGAS: Henry Hub Holds Steady Amid Drop in Production and LNG Feedgas

NATGAS

Henry Hub prices are holding onto net gains seen so far this month ahead of the EIA storage data. A drop in domestic production due to Hurricane Francine is offsetting lower LNG export terminal feedgas flows.

  • The EIA weekly gas inventories for the week ending Sept. 6 will be released this afternoon at 10:30 ET (15:30BST). The expectation is for a build of 47bcf according to a Bloomberg survey following a build of 13bcf the previous week. The seasonal normal is a build of around 58bcf.
  • US domestic natural gas production at 100.2bcf/d yesterday, according to Bloomberg, compared to an average of 101.8bcf/d in the first week of September before the arrival of Francine.
  • Gas flows to the seven operational US LNG export plants was relatively unchanged on the day at 11.9bcf/d, according to BNEF, with supply to Cameron LNG still below half normal levels after dropping earlier this week.
  • Domestic natural gas demand edged down slightly to 70.5bcf/d today but still above the previous five year seasonal average. NOAA shows above normal temperatures are expected in central and eastern areas throughout the 6-14 day period but below normal temperatures are forecast for the west.
  • Export flows to Mexico are today estimated up to 7.1bcf/d, according to Bloomberg.
  • Nymex Henry Hub daily aggregate traded futures volume was 516k on Sep 11.
    • US Natgas OCT 24 up 0% at 2.27$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas MAR 25 unchanged at 2.93$/mmbtu
    • US Natgas SEP 25 down 0% at 3.15$/mmbtu
