Natural Gas Falls as Rising Production Offsets Warming Forecasts

Natural gas traded lower early Tuesday despite warm forecasts as production continues to rise. Gas for June delivery was last seen down $0.04 to US$2.87 per million British thermal units.Long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect nearly all states to see warmer than seasonal temperatures over its six to 14 day outlook, offering some cooling demand amid the spring shoulder season.However production continues to rise, boosting inventories of the fuel and limiting prices."U.S. production continues to trend higher, supported by solid shale output and rising associated gas volumes from oil directed drilling, particularly in the Permian Basin....Combined with relatively mild winter weather, this has left inventories in a comfortable position," TD Economics wrote.

U.S. Energy Production Sets New Record in 2025 for 4th Consecutive Year, EIA Reports

U.S. energy production hit a new record high of 107 quadrillion British thermal units in 2025, up 3.4% from the previous record set in 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a Monday note, citing its most recent Monthly Energy Review.Production was driven by record-high production in natural gas, crude oil, natural gas plant liquids and renewables, the EIA noted. This was the fourth consecutive year of record energy production for the U.S.Dry natural gas output rose more than 4% year over year to 39 trillion cubic feet in 2025, with most of the growth occurring in the Appalachia, Permian and Haynesville regions, the EIA said.Crude oil production grew 3% to 13.6 million barrels per day from 2024. Most of the growth comes from the Permian region of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.Production of NGPLs, or hydrocarbons separated as liquids during natural gas processing, climbed 7% to 4 trillion cubic feet year over year. Like oil and natural gas output, NGPLs production also hit a new record in 2025, according to the agency.

Natural Gas Trading Lower Ahead of Fresh Storage Data as Spring Weather Cuts Into Demand

Natural gas futures dipped early Thursday ahead of fresh storage data as spring temperatures continue to limit demand. Gas for June delivery was last seen down $0.04 to US$2.69 per million British thermal units.The price of the fuel has remained under US$3.00 since the April 1 start to the cooling season as mild spring weather continues to limit demand. Long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service see most states with warmer than seasonal temperatures over its eight to 14 day outlook, but well below midsummer highs."Seasonal maintenance is in full swing, depressing demand and adding to an already well-supplied market (stockpiles are 7.7% above the five-year average), but this shoulder season story looks short-lived as we enter summer and new LNG trains come online," Christopher Louney, a natural gas and gold strategist at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.The Energy Information Administration will release its weekly survey of inventories of the fuel later on Thursday. morning. Celsius Energy is expecting the agency to report stocks rose by 73-billion cubic feet, 4-bcf above the five-year average for the week.

Gas for June delivery was last seen down US$0.07 to US$2.72 per million British thermal units.The drop comes as long-term forecasts from the National Weather Service expect states west of the Mississippi River to see warmer than seasonal temperatures over its six to 10 day outlook. But states in big markets of the Northeast and Upper Midwest will be cooler than usual, cutting into demand."National demand will increase to moderate levels Wed-Fri as a late season cool shot sweeps across the northern US. Demand eases this weekend, then with a minor bump early next week on another cooler vs normal system across the Great Lakes and Northeast," NatGasWeather noted.
