I've been looking forward at the NG market. From what I see a year from now they expect the price to be in the mid 3's. That looks a lot better than the 2.90's that we see now. Why the optimism?

What optimism? The market is just saying that next winter, could be a normal winter for temperatures and that mid 3's is the high price point for the next 2 years. The futures are also saying that despite all the hype about LNGs that the price of NG won't go over $4 until January of 2020.
NG futures are widow-makers. Wild gyrations. Such charted snapshots mean little. The betting swings up and down on weather and innuendo. Speculators. Wait a couple of weeks, and if the lower 48 continues to have a soft winter, then NG might drop like a rock. Could happen. The monthly forward pricing isn't stable and can rocket up or down on mis-info. Conversely, if the commodity gamblers smell lower NG production coming down the pike per the oil glut causing rigs to lay down en mass, with NG production showing signs of dropping to much lower levels by 2016 from an oil basin capex pullback, look for higher NG bets to be priced into the forward charts. So in six months, NG pricing can surprise either up, down, or stuck in the mud.
I'm fairly newbie to the game, issues, but it looks like the US originally
had high hopes for gas, that the US might become energy independent
with it. Many utility companies already converted to gas. Many
government heavy trucks now running on gas. The cost savings certainly
makes it tempting. QE, economic stimulation, jobs, politics...

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
