US gas market fundamentals ‘balanced’: EQT

Feb 14, 2024 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

The largest US natural gas producer by volume assured investors today that the pace of US gas production is appropriate relative to demand, despite benchmark prices hitting fresh three-year lows this week. US gas storage being 10.6pc above the five-year average "is really just the result of a really warm El Niño winter," EQT chief financial officer Jeremy Knop said, referring to the weather pattern partly responsible for recent months being the warmest ever recorded.

Efforts by midstream giant Energy Transfer to block a natural gas pipeline out of the Haynesville shale could threaten the region's production growth, the pipeline company and others argue in court filings, as well as the coming US LNG export boom. In April a Louisiana district court judge ruled that Energy Transfer was within its rights to block DT Midstream from building a gas line that crossed Energy Transfer's own Tiger pipeline in northern Louisiana.

Oct 31, 2023 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

Spot natural gas prices across the northeastern US on Monday surged to the highest levels in months ahead of the first widespread shot of cold weather this season. The Columbia Gas, Appalachia, index, a key indicator for the price of gas from the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states, on Monday more than doubled to $2.37/mmBtu, the highest since 2 March. Dailies at the Transco zone 6 New York index also more than doubled to $2.66/mmBtu, the highest since 13 March.
Enbridge proposes Algonquin gas line expansion

Oct 6, 2023 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

Canadian midstream giant Enbridge has proposed a major expansion to its Algonquin Gas Transmission (AGT) natural gas pipeline, one of a handful of major interstate lines delivering gas into New England. The expansion project, named Project Maple, would boost capacity on AGT by replacing the existing pipeline with larger-diameter pipe, extending pipeline loops and adding compression. Enbridge expects Project Maple to increase capacity by 720mn cf/d (20mn m3/d).

Sep 15, 2023 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

As moratoria on new natural gas hook-ups are passed in municipalities across the US, Enbridge is betting big that gas utilities in places that are friendlier to the fuel source will continue to book profits for the foreseeable future. The Canadian midstream company has agreed to buy three gas distribution companies from Dominion Energy in a transaction worth $14bn.

Sep 12, 2023 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

US natural gas consumption this month was expected to rise by 5pc from last September, setting a new record for September gas consumption, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said today. US gas consumption in September was forecast to average 80.5 Bcf/d (2.28bn m3/d), the EIA said in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook(STEO). This would be the third straight month of record gas consumption in the US, following records in July, at 86.5 Bcf/d, and August, at 86.7 Bcf/d.
MVP Southgate gas line’s prospects remain dim

Aug 28, 2023 | argusmedia.com | Julian Hast

While the developer of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) expects its massive West Virginia-to-Virginia natural gas line to enter service by the end of 2023, prospects for its smaller 375mn cf/d Virginia-to-North Carolina MVP Southgate extension appear gloomy. The MVP mainline likely would have been cancelled had it not been included in the debt limit law signed by President Joe Biden in June, as lengthy legal disputes increased construction costs.
