Where, when, and why: Outlook on natural gas storage value

Where, when, and why: Outlook on natural gas storage value
 

Natural gas storage is a critical part of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ natural gas delivery system and increasingly plays a key role in supplying fuel to electricity generators. However, for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ past several years, natural gas storage values have been low, and little to no storage capacity has been developed, despite Å·²©ÓéÀÖ rapid growth in natural gas production and demand. ICF expects upcoming changes in natural gas market conditions to lead to a rebound in seasonal natural gas price basis and storage value. At Å·²©ÓéÀÖ same time, however, changes in gas supply and pricing and growing reliance on gas for electricity generation are changing Å·²©ÓéÀÖ use of storage in potentially conflicting ways.

This webinar will review Å·²©ÓéÀÖ key characteristics of natural gas storage facilities in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ US and recent utilization and storage valuation trends. It will also project future storage capacity needs and utilization trends under different natural gas market assumptions and discuss Å·²©ÓéÀÖ potential value of and opportunities to invest in new and existing storage assets. Some of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ topics to be addressed include:

  • US storage facility review
  • Recent storage utilization and valuation trends
  • Future storage capacity needs
  • Outlook for seasonal natural gas price basis and storage values
