An unplanned outage at a Norwegian gas processing plan and short covering combined to add upward pressure to gas prices.

As more power plants phased out coal use, natural gas prices skyrocketed during the pandemic—but now ... [+] TIM GRAHAM/GETTY IMAGES KEY FACTS U.S. natural gas prices fell 5% to less than $2.70 Monday morning—pushing losses more than 72% below an August high of roughly $9.70 and at one point hitting what would be the lowest closing price since April 2021. "The next U.S. gas bearish cycle is here," Goldman Sachs analysts led by Samantha Dart wrote in a weekend note to clients, noting an “exceptionally warm” January—with average temperatures at the highest level in 15 years—has helped dissipate winter-related risks to supply and push prices down by more than 50% over the past month alone. Though the analysts acknowledge the selloff appears “overdone,” particularly with higher gas demand expected over the coming weeks, they still believe warmer weather forecasts or disappointing demand could push gas prices further down. With supply expected to remain healthy, Goldman ultimately projects prices could fall below $2 and remain in a bear market through at least next summer, keeping prices below $3.85 and likely not going back above $4 until 2025. KEY BACKGROUND As more power plants phased out coal use, natural gas prices skyrocketed during the pandemic—more than quadrupling between April 2020 (when prices fell below $2 amid another unseasonably warm winter) and August 2022. However, the soaring demand has also helped bolster production to record levels, helping to fuel the sudden collapse in prices over recent months. Goldman notes one scenario that could push prices down further: If Europe, which has also faced a warmer-than-average winter, becomes so oversupplied with gas this year, it may be forced to lower prices so much that U.S. liquefied natural gas exports get canceled—similar to what happened when U.S. prices plummeted in 2020. CRUCIAL QUOTE “Warmer-than-average temperatures across much of the country is suppressing heating demand, domestic production remains at record highs, and inventories are seasonably healthy,” explains analyst Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report, of the recently collapsing market for natural gas. It looks like January will not be such a warm month after all, all that global warming has had trouble finding Texas. https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/live-news/live-updates-ice-storm-southern-plains-winter-weather/1476035 "Icy roads are creating extremely dangerous conditions on roads across the southern Plains.

The carbon monoxide is reacted with water to produce additional hydrogen. This method is the cheapest, most efficient, and most common. Natural gas reforming using steam accounts for the majority of hydrogen produced in the United States annually.

Ecocharger + 1,374 DL February 1, 2023 (edited) So now "profits" and "earnings" have become dirty words in America? It is a crime to buy back shares and distribute dividends? I guess those new rules apply only to the oil industry, other industries are exempt from the contempt shown by Biden & Co. It is time for government officials to take a refresher course on how the economy works in America. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/White-House-Slams-Exxons-Record-Profit-As-Outrageous.html "High oil and gas prices were the key reasons for higher profits at Exxon, which beat its own annual earnings record of $45.2 billion from 2008 – when oil prices hit a record $142 per barrel – and posted the highest-ever annual profit by a major Western oil firm. The reaction from the White House was quick. “It’s outrageous that Exxon has posted a new record for Western oil company profits after the American people were forced to pay such high prices at the pump amidst Putin’s invasion,” White House spokesperson Abdullah Hasan said in a written statement, as carried by The Hill. “The latest earnings reports make clear that oil companies have everything they need, including record profits and thousands of unused but approved permits, to increase production, but they’re instead choosing to plow those profits into padding the pockets of executives and shareholders while House Republicans manufacture excuse after excuse to shield them from any accountability,” the White House said. Referring to the record earnings at Exxon, President Biden said on Twitter, “The only thing stopping Big Oil from increasing production is their decision to pay shareholders billions instead of reinvesting profits.”" Edited February 1, 2023 by Ecocharger 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
