EIA Reports Surprise Gas Build - Analyst Blog

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:36:55 GMT

In its weekly release yesterday, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a surprise 2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) addition to natural gas stockpiles for the week ended November 27, far off analyst expectations that hoped for inventories to remain flat, or possibly even show a drawdown. This takes the current storage level to a new record high of 3.84 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which is up 14.0% from last year's level and 14.5% above the five-year range (as clear from the nearby chart from the EIA). Current stocks are 470 Bcf above last year’s level and 487 Bcf above the five-year average. The inventory addition was in sharp contrast to the five-year-average net withdrawal of 43 Bcf and last year's drawdown of 64 Bcf.?? ? ? The relentless increase in gas storage levels has meant that[More...]

Three Energy Stocks Our Top Managers May Have Overlooked

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:57:33 GMT

Is XTO Energy (XTO) Overvalued?

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:55:21 GMT

Determining the fair value of an asset is both art and science. While traditional metrics such as Price/Earnings (PE), Price/Book (PB), and dividend discount models offer the appearance of precise mathematical answers, these methods are widely used and do not often provide investors an edge. Over the years, I have often used nontraditional metrics as a way to determine fair value targets and identify trading opportunities.[More...]

Why Are Natural Gas Producers Expanding Production So Aggressively?

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:46:37 GMT

While the price of natural gas is in the dumps US producers continue to expand production. Why? Oh I think it's pretty obvious. And it's nothing to do with the magical V shape recovery in the U.S. As I often say as people mix natural gas and crude together as if its the same thing (hey "it's energy") - unlike crude which can benefit from economic growth in Asia, natural gas is largely a domestic commodity despite efforts to make it more transportable. (Mar 24, 2009: Will Liquified Natural Gas Turn this Commodity Global?) In fact the divergence between the price of oil and natural gas tells you all you need to know about the reflective economies of the globe versus US. (again using ETFs that have a LOT of issues.
