1st NRG Corp. (OTC Pink: FNRC) Keeping Costs Low by Utilizing Cleaner, Coalbed Methane, and Less Drilling – Thousands of Acreage Still Unexplored
The energy markets have continued to face volatile price movements throughout 2016. Natural gas prices have managed to recover after a steep sell off across the financial markets which led investors to dump risky investments and turning to safe havens. Given the miserable last few years the energy sector has faced and lousy beginning of 2016; it appeared the energy bears could not give up control.
After seeing the price of natural gas dip below $2.00 MMBTUs in early March 2016, the price of gas has since rallied back to $2.822 MMBTUs and post year to date gains of 3.37% through August 2016. Most of the rally in natural gas could be attributed to the above-average heat wave that has largely effected the United States this summer. In addition, the production decline of 3% since February 2016, has also aided the bullish move. In fact, the U.S. Energy Information Administration released a gas inventory report on August 4, 2016 that showed natural gas storage shrank by 6 billion cubic feet, through the week of July 29th. This marked the first summer drawdown in natural gas storage since August 4, 2006.
While natural gas demand tends to peak in the summer time, forecasts of warmer weather continue to show up across the country. Without a doubt, the rally in natural gas does face some hurdles. Very heavy production and imports from Canada continue to add to total supply and lowering prices. Ultimately, commodities traders see a mild Fall and moderate Winter in 2016. Natural gas prices are impacted by supply/demand factors, unseasonable weather, production, and more.
The price of natural gas could go in either direction for the rest of 2016, but we do know that gas is not going anywhere. The fact that natural gas is cheaper than coal to use as a heating and energy source and is a cleaner option for the environment, shows that demand will likely continue over the next many years.
