Natural gas markets opened higher with the Euro adding some HDDs later this week, and production continuing to remain lower. The Euro Ensemble added 11 GWHDD vs Friday’s 12z run.
Production continues to printer about 1.5 Bcf/d lower than the March average. The drop primarily comes out of the TX and Midcon region. There is no clear story on what’s driving the lower levels, but the drop could be related to maintenance/repair of equipment after the cold Feb or the start up of some ethylene facilities that is reducing the amount of ethane being rejected in the South.
