Short-Term Energy Outlook
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has published its Short-Term Energy Outlook for November. Among other things, it projects the average Henry Hub spot price for natural gas to be just over $5.00 per Mcf in 2010:
Although prices have more than doubled since reaching a low of $1.83 per Mcf on September 4, EIA expects any further price run-up to be limited through the remainder of the year. High storage levels and resilient domestic production are expected to keep prices around $5 per Mcf in the coming months, even as space-heating demand increases and economic conditions improve. Beyond the winter, limited demand growth constrains price increases through the forecast. The projected Henry Hub spot price averages $4.03 per Mcf in 2009 and $5.01 per Mcf in 2010.
