The U.S. natural gas sector is witnessing another transformation and ready for growth even if limited in pipeline infrastructure primarily as a way to prepare for increasing demand for natural gas and, meanwhile, addressing transportation constraints. Last year alone, new pipelines with a combined capacity of ~7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) came online, […]
Natural gas goes to Six Flags
ADI has been reporting about struggling natural gas prices over the past year. U.S. natural gas prices have been on a rollercoaster again this year despite the country emerging as the top LNG exporter globally. Henry Hub benchmark prices started at $3.18 per MMBtu in the beginning of this year but fell to $1.49 per […]
Is GTL making a comeback?
Natural gas prices are hitting rock bottom, with Henry Hub averaging a mere $1.49 in March 2024, the lowest monthly average since 1997. Shale operators are responding by curtailing production. Chesapeake, a leading producer, started the trend with cuts announced in early March. Other companies like Coterra Energy, Comstock Resources, EQT, and CNX Resources have followed suit, reducing drilling activity or implementing production curtailments. ADI anticipates […]
LNG export permit pause: Market implications
The Biden Administration’s recent pause on permits for LNG exports to non-FTA countries has sparked industry-wide debate. While motivated by climate concerns, the pause could delay the retirement of coal-fired plants in emerging economies, paradoxically slowing greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. The U.S. has successfully cut its CO2 emissions by 18% since 2005, largely by switching […]
2024 LNG Outlook: Growing stability yet uncertainty in the global LNG market
The ripples in the global LNG markets induced by geopolitical conflict seemed to have died down and greater import and export capacity coupled with continued growth in the share of renewable energy will result in a relatively stable yet uncertain LNG market in 2024. Key trends to look out for include the following: Global LNG […]
Haynesville shale’s growing competitiveness
The Haynesville shale has emerged as a major natural gas play in recent years. Natural gas production from the Haynesville shale reached a new record high of 14.5 Bcf/d in 2023, accounting for 14% of all U.S. dry natural gas production. Haynesville production growth has accounted for 40% of the U.S. gas production growth recently. […]
2023 LNG Outlook: Will the sugar rush subside?
The global LNG market was influenced by some unprecedented factors in 2022. Europe significantly grew their LNG imports driving LNG prices to astounding highs. U.S. emerged as the top exporter in spite of an emergency shutdown at Freeport LNG. High shipping rates also plagued LNG markets along with limited supply and growing sustainability pressures. All […]
Natural gas crisis building in New England
While the energy crisis in Europe is well known, with much of the continent facing gas shortages due to the war in Ukraine and subsequent Russian sanctions and policies, less talked about is an energy crisis brewing in the U.S. Problems with natural gas infrastructure in New England have been mounting for years, and the […]
German energy markets: Between a rock and a hard place
Energy prices have soared throughout Europe since the beginning of the year. The crisis is particularly acute in the EU’s largest economy, Germany, which relies heavily on Russian gas for its economy. Recent events have exacerbated the problem and the German government is taking actions to combat the effects of the crisis on its people […]
Gas production takeoff: an outlook for the Eagle Ford shale
The effects of the pandemic were evident with a decline in natural gas production during 2020, just when it was expected to grow in 2019. The overall natural gas production from the five major regions in the U.S., namely Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Niobrara, and Anadarko, declined during 2020. Although the output from the Permian […]
