  • LNG supplies to Europe increased last week as the cold weather increased demand and despite spreads just encouraging flows to Asia over Europe. Total EU LNG supplies were up from 370mcm/d on 15 Jan to 484mcm/d on 18 Jan.
  • High European gas storage is well above normal due to the warm weather this winter and EU efforts to reduce demand. EU storage was at 78.35% full on 21 Jan compared to the five year seasonal average of 58.4%.
  • Norwegian imports are down to 304.3mcm/d due to planned maintenance at Visund and an unplanned capacity reduction at Oseberg. Gas transit flows via Ukraine are again low at just 24.4mcm/d.
