US Natgas+ 1
MNI estimates US feedgas demand averaged 18.3 Bcf/d this week, down 0.4 Bcf/d from last week’s average. Feedgas hit its historical peak of 19.1 Bc/d on December 5th and was close to hitting that level on January 4th but was unable to sustain the higher level.
- European weather was cooler this week, which was supportive of US LNG on the water. For the remainder of the winter, large storage withdrawals over the previous few weeks may lend additional support for European LNG demand.
- Corpus Christi reported lower volumes at the start of the week as planned maintenance occurred upstream of the facility on Corpus Christi pipeline. More maintenance at the Sinton compressor station will occur on Wednesday January 14th and Thursday January 15th, with 1.6 Bcf/d and 0.9 Bcf/d transport impact expected respectively.
- For Sabine, Creole Trail’s latest maintenance schedule released this week shows planned maintenance in Mid-March but no planned outages before then.
- Corpus Christi and Sabine Pass are showing below normal feedgas demand for this time of year, while all other LNG facilities are largely in line with their historical normal.
