Those of you who shivered through the historic deep freeze in early February and spent a month's salary to heat your homes probably will be surprised to learn that an unseasonably warm winter has reined in natural gas prices. Two days before an Arctic blast sent wind chills to record lows across the Upper Northeast, Enverus Intelligence Research Inc. (EIR) proclaimed that record warm winter weather will send natural gas prices to below $3 million BTUs (MMBtu) this year. The Calgary, Alberta-based analytics firm also pointed to strong U.S. gas stockpiles, aided in part to the continued outage of the Freeport liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility off Texas, which prevented nearly 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) from being shipped out of the country. |
