NG/LNG - This Week's Main Drivers and the Look Ahead | 9.20.26
Source: EIA This Week's Main Drivers: EIA storage increased +44 BCF well below last year's +87 BCF and the five-year average of +74 BCF—another materially bullish storage signal. Yet natural gas remains unable to break and hold above $3/MMBtu. LNG operations remain a key variable. Cameron LNG lost one train mid-week, while Golden Pass Train 1 continues its slow ramp, now around 62%. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted, with LNG flows still disrupted. A

The Gamblers: When Net Zero Collides With Energy Security
Source: UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero Britain is approaching winter with a dangerous energy-security equation: very low gas storage, heavy dependence on imports, and a weather wildcard that cannot be forecast with certainty. The UK’s only large-scale gas storage facility, Rough, is practically empty. Centrica says the market currently does not make storage commercially viable without a supporting framework. Rough can hold up to 54 Bcf—roughly enough to heat 2.4

NG/LNG - This Week's Main Drivers and the Look Ahead | 9.13.26
Source: EIA This Week's Main Drivers: EIA NG Storage: +40 BCF vs. +69 BCF last year and the +52 BCF 5-year average. The smaller injection keeps the storage deficit narrative alive as we approach winter. Crude oil rocketed above $100/BBL. as the Iran-US war continues to disrupt energy flows and effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz to LNG exports. No LNG tankers transited Hormuz Wednesday, underscoring the severity of the disruption. Summer heat is finally retreating, with the
