NATGAS: TTF Finds Support as Security Concerns Persist

NATGAS

European gas prices rose on Monday as ongoing uncertainty over gas flows remains, colder weather is forecast for the end of the month and small delays are announced for Norwegian maintenance outages. Security risks also persist around Russian flows.

  • TTF OCT 24 up 4.8% at 36.1€/MWh
  • Further attacks continue at the Russia/Ukraine border close to key energy infrastructure, also supportive for prices. Transit for now remains steady.
  • Signs that a deal for Azerbaijan gas last week sent prices tumbling but a lack of confirmation has seen them recover.
  • Norwegian piped gas deliveries to Europe and Britain are nominated at 279 mcm/day on Monday, up from 245 mcm/day on Friday.
  • Some maintenance work at the Skarv and Sleipner fields has been extended according to Gassco.
  • The outlook for colder temperatures are supported until the end of the month.
  • European gas storage was last seen at 93.63% full according to GIE.
  • In the US, flows to the Cove Point LNG export terminal slumped over the weekend, coinciding with scheduled maintenance.
