In a news report lately, U.S. natural gas prices inched down to its lowest level since 2016. To add, the daily consumption plunged by 2.2% compared to the preceding week.
Unfortunately, the U.S. gas industry has attained the level where U.S. producers can’t make any more money.
Other than that, the gas industry is unproductive in blocking a wave of outgrowth of additional gas.
The issue is triggered by the escalating shale oil production in places like New Mexico and the Permian basin of West Texas.
In a statement, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, Devin McDermott, indicated that the gas industry is a target of its success.
Moreover, the matter is not only on experience by the U.S. The material overflow is also happening in Europe and Asia that ends in the saturated international market.
It’s not a surprise that the gas prices are at a low level since they’ve been weak for a while.
The thing is that the prices were down more than 25% last year. To add, the index is significantly high.
There are also several cases that have been a vital factor in the diminished demand for the commodity from the power, residential as well as commercial sectors.
Elsewhere, the winter forecast demonstrates an unusually warm weather. The supply levels become above their seasonal average.
On the flip side, the gas prices are not on the expectation to soar above $2.6 even in the coldest months when the demand is usually at a high level.
Meanwhile, shipments from Canada persisted virtually untouched as well.
The warm temperature is not only a dilemma in the U.S.
Parts of Europe, along with Asia, are undergoing mild winters slashing demands for natural gas. It is also weakening the global heating demand, according to an analyst at Energy Aspects.
The indicated conditions hit the U.S., since the country has been the world’s most important exporter of the material since 2009.
It is with above-average recovery rates from the major fields that improved to unleash new record volumes.
Other than that, oil counterparts in crude persuade gas producers to keep spilling more gas from their wells.
Lastly, another unfortunate reality is the shortage of pipelines in the Marcellus Shale in Appalachia.
They constrain gas prices to go negative from time to time. The producers must pay others to take the fuel.
