Gas Prices Doomed to Stay Low as Producers Pump Faster

Bloomberg -- Gas producers in North America including Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) are killing their commodity’s biggest rally in 10 months by opening more wells, putting the U.S. on track to have record gas supplies this year.

After a 44 percent price rise beginning Sept. 10, the fuel began a slide Oct. 30, falling 9.2 percent by Nov. 12 as stockpiles swelled to an all-time high this month, valued at about $15 billion using the current spot price. Gas production in 2013 is expected to match this year’s record level, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecast this month.

The rebound stalled as Chesapeake, the second-biggest U.S. producer, and rivals added output in areas such as the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. ConocoPhillips and Encana Corp. (ECA) brought back curtailed output.

jrsva Champion Author Virginia Posts:9,862 Points:1,614,200 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Nov 15, 2012 11:48:01 PM Ignore jrsva Report Abuse It seems that the majority of folks here misread “gas” to mean gasoline rather than natural gas, which is the subject of this article. And the word “doomed” was used because it was written from the perspective of the producers, who are damaging their profits by over producing. Read carefully before commenting.

bigdipperMS Champion Author Mississippi Posts:1,522 Points:538,725 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Nov 15, 2012 11:30:33 PM Ignore bigdipperMS Report Abuse The solution to this is more and better utilization of natural gas. The most obvious is converting the transportation fleet to CNG engines as well as some personal autos and trucks. This would probably improve the price of natural gas and lower the price of gasoline (since demand for the one would go up and down for the second). But it is a pipe dream since this Administration will continue to throw every road block they can to stifle the use of hydrocarbons as fuel.
