- Friday, February 15, 12:02 PM Natural gas names such as Chesapeake (CHK -1.4%), Petroquest (PQ -3.8%) and EOG (EOG -2.7%) slump after experts say the Marcellus Shale gas boom will slow this year as drillers wait for pipelines to expand, new markets to develop and wholesale prices to rise. Hiring has tapered off, a big difference from recent years when production soared and companies spent billions on leases, well drilling and infrastructure. 6 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, February 8, 8:20 AM Tepco's deal to import liquefied natural gas from the proposed Cameron LNG project (SE) in the U.S. starting in 2017 could have wider repercussions in the global LNG market by helping break the link between oil and LNG and eventually helping to bring world LNG prices down, Macquarie Research says. The project in Louisiana has yet to gain the government's approval for export. 1 Comment [Energy]

Friday, February 1, 6:54 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VNM +5.9%; BRF +3.4%; BNO +2.9%; AMJ +2.3%; PSLV +2.3%.
ETF Losers: UNG -5%; FXY -2.1%; TLT -2.1%; TAN -1.7%; JNK -1.6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, January 31, 2:39 PM Unusual trading was seen in the moments before the natural gas storage report this morning, reports CNBC, with about 250K contracts sold just fractions of a second before the news hit. A look at the charts finds gas diving just ahead of the release and soaring after. 8 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, January 31, 9:39 AM Shell's (RDS.A, RDS.B) Peter Voser tells CNBC he doesn't expect a major recovery in U.S. natural gas prices, as prices rebound 24% Y/Y to $3.23/Mbtu: "It'll take a little bit longer until it comes back to a range that we think should be around $3-$5 or $4-$6, where most projects would make sense." Voser says Shell is on track in its four-year journey to deliver 30%-50% cash flow growth (Q4). Comment! [Energy, Commodities]
- Monday, January 28, 10:47 AM Natural gas (UNG -4.1%) tumbles as Weather Group LLC revises its forecast and predicts above-normal temperatures in the eastern U.S. from Feb. 7-11. 12 Comments [On the Move, Commodities]
- Friday, January 18, 11:39 AM Global prices for liquefied natural gas are rising toward record highs this year as increasing demand runs up against tightening supply, threatening to drive up fuel costs in some of the world’s biggest economies. With 80% of global LNG supplies locked up under long-term contracts, countries such as China, India, Brazil and Argentina that rely on short-term deals could face the biggest hit. 8 Comments [Energy, Commodities, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, January 8, 2:42 PM The world’s oil market should eventually see a glut of crude oil and a fall in prices given non-OPEC growth in production, especially from unconventional and deepwater North American sources, and steady demand growth, Global Hunter says. As for natural gas, the overabundance in supplies has led to a "severe cratering of prices on the one hand, but has set in motion a variety of longer-term demand drivers on the other." Comment! [Energy, Global & FX]
- Friday, January 4, 3:53 PM Unseasonably high natural gas inventories going into mid-January support Sterne Agee's bearish outlook for gas amid what looks like another mild winter, as the firm suggests avoiding pure-play gas names such as Southwestern (SWN) and Ultra Petroleum (UPL). Only four companies have 40%-plus of 2013 estimated gas production hedged, the firm says: PXD, EGN, AREX, QEP. 2 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, January 2, 2:10 PM Gas producers are missing out on today's rally, as a forecast that colder-than-average weather in most of the U.S. this week would give way to above-normal temperatures leads to a sharp drop in natural gas prices. The late-2012 run-up in nat gas was driven by hopes of a cold winter and not fundamentals, Argus’ Phil Weiss adds. COG -3%, CNX -3.9%, BTU -3.2%, EQT -1.8%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 27, 2012, 12:24 PM As natural gas prices are on track for a gain after a volatile year, the U.S. Natural Gas ETF (UNG) is down 25% YTD and more than 90% since mid-2008. But hope springs eternal, as Charles Freeman says he’s betting on UNG to back his bullish thesis on natural gas. The transportation industry is on the cusp of considering LNG-powered trucks, and lower prices mean nat gas is "rapidly replacing coal as the 'go-to' fuel for power generation." 8 Comments [Commodities, Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 6:55 PM How best to take advantage if natural gas prices have turned the corner? Not the nat gas ETF (UNG), which suffers high costs from rolling positions forward as contracts expire; E&P firms are high spenders, and low gas prices have prompted them to produce more higher-priced oil. The better choice could be power producers with high leverage to gas prices, such as NRG Energy (NRG), Liam Denning writes. 3 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 12:54 PM Natural gas explorers are taking a beating amid expectations for warmer weather across much of the U.S. over the next week or two that could lead to more additions to gas stockpiles. McMoRan Exploration (MMR -12.9%) leads a broad descent among nat gas firms (UNG -3.7%): PXP -3.9%, WTI -2.8%, EXXI -4.2%, SGY -2.4%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 12:57 PM Natural gas inventories fell 38bcf last week, more than expectations for 23-27bcf. This just in: Natural gas is in a bull market (or at least a big bounce in a bear market), up another 0.9% today and about doubled from last spring's lows. UNG +1%. 12 Comments [Energy, Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, November 16, 2012, 3:59 PM Natural gas futures jump 2.4% to a fresh one-year high, spurred by signs of rising gas demand, as cold winter weather begins to arrive in the U.S. and adding to gains earlier this week as natural gas stockpiles shrink. Some observers even predict an end to 10-year low price levels caused by a production glut and weak demand. 4 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 12:37 PM North American gas producers are killing their commodity’s big rally by opening more wells, putting the U.S. on track toward record gas supplies this year, according to a Bloomberg analysis. The 44% price rise in natural gas between Sept. 10 and Oct. 30 stalled as Chesapeake (CHK) and others added output in areas such as the Marcellus shale; COP and ECA brought back curtailed output. 12 Comments [Energy, Commodities]

Jonathan N: I wonder if Powerburn (and everyone else) is going to be just as low on the next injection projection. Could be a day filled with drama.
