Is that the February Henry Hub price to which you refer during the last five business days in January, Les? Do Operators in the Haynesville Shale use the Henry Hub price exclusively?
Missy, unfortunately I do not have any information regarding which gas pipeline Questar utilizes for their gas sales. Their field gas price should be around Henry Hub less 20-30 cents and there may be additional deductions under the specific lease agreement.
Joanne, I would assume that would be gas sales in East Texas. Much of the gas sold in East Texas is delivered to Texas Intrastate pipelines and priced based on the Houston Ship Channel Gas Index.
For 2009, the Houston Ship Channel monthly prices averaged $3.78/MMBtu which was 20.5 cents below NYMEX. The pricing basis improved during the 2nd half of 2009.
Les,
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, the gas basing its price to the Houston Ship Channel is from East Texas...(Shelby County). It is good to know the structure of moving the gas. Thanks!
SB, there are ~ 70 Gas Index prices that are published each month based on the sales transactions during Bid Week. Henry Hub is just one of these Gas Index points. The various Gas Index points are located throughout the US in bothe producing areas and market areas.
