Price determination for North American natural gas Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Price determination for North American natural gas Market Fundamentals Production Infrastructure Storage Potential Disruptors Weather Coal Supply Regional bottlenecks
No sign of a slowdown in production Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 No sign of a slowdown in production Unconventional development has opened up a massive North American resource base estimated well in excess of 3,000 Tcf that can be developed at less than $6.00 per million Btu (MMBtu) Increasing EURs and development of new unconventional plays is increasing resource base that is commercial at below $4.00/MMBtu Marcellus and Utica are expected to grow to 25-30% of North American supply completely changing pipeline flows and basis relationships Significant investment in infrastructure will be required to connect growing supply to growing demand Cost of development has been falling due to productivity improvements Massive hydraulic fracturing could drive another wave of productivity improvements
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Infrastructure additions in the Marcellus each year have been accompanied by production increases
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Gas storage inventories have almost regained the five-year average after being seriously depleted last winter
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 A cold winter could increase price toward $5; a mild winter could reduce price to the low-$3s
Abnormal weather would add some price volatility this winter Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Abnormal weather would add some price volatility this winter
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Coal prices put a floor under gas prices owing to gas/coal competition in electric dispatch. Difficulties with coal supply could raise the price floor
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Delivery constraints can cause localized price spikes in peak demand periods
Pricing & Purchasing Summit / November 2014 Bottom Line Assuming normal weather, expect gas prices to range between $3.60 and $3.90 next year, with a 2015 average of $3.73. A cold winter could temporarily increase the March average price to nearly $5, with higher regional spikes on very cold days. A mild winter could drop the March average price to the low $3’s.
