RE:RE:Baker Hughes rigs count down 16 on the weekThanks ON. Also, if you look carefully at natural gas storage movements in the past 6 weeks, they are more or less the same as they were in 2021 and 2020 (2022 was lower).. The conclusion I draw from that is supply and demand is currently in balance. But if producers cut back drilling and completions, it won't be for long.
Moreover, prices for natgas were higher in 2021 than they are now including strip. For example, September 2021 was $4.07 whereas NGU23 (from marketwatch) the September forward is at $2.87 (and was $2.57 a couple of days ago). You would expect w/o cutbacks to drilling and completions, that this September contract would be closer to $4 (interestingly enough, the January 2024 contract is $4 and January 22 natgas price was $4.07...). And with cutbacks north of $4 obviously.
Interesting times for natgas investors.
