Final Injection season numbers for 2008-2013 Here are the “end of injection season final figures” for 2008 through 2013. Although the end of October is the traditional cut-off to the injection season sometimes increases to “aggregate storage” can continue into the 1st week and even very occasionally into the second week of Nov. The figures I report here are the absolute highpoint storage amounts for each of these years. 2008 3488 2009 3837 2010 3840 2011 3852 2012 3929 2013 3834 2014 *3600 Estimate only *If we assume the worst case scenario of 70Bcf injection for next week and 20Bcf and 10Bcf for each of the 1st two weeks in Nov. we would get a final injection amount for 2014 of 234Bcf shortfall over last year. Subtract that from last year’s 3834 and you get 3600. So you can see that 2014 will be the lowest injection amount since 2008. We have not seen the end of the tail wind from last winter just yet. Alberta’s projected shortfall of 100Bcf+ makes Cdn storage even worse than the U.S figure given that our production is significantly less than the U.S. I have commented many times that in the last 1 1/2 years the industry has steadily managed the gas directed rig count lower and I have seen nothing lately to make me change my mind. The fact that nat-gas sells for more than ethane might in fact mean that there is more demand for it and better pipeline takeaway. That’s at least one interpretation for that anomaly.
