Winter Storm Threatens Appalachian NatGas With 'Freeze Offs' As Data Center Demand Tightens PJM Grid
Submitted by Criterion Research President James Bevan,
An incoming winter ice storm is poised to crimp Appalachian natural gas production at a critical moment when the power grid faces mounting pressure from surging data center demand and extreme cold.
Appalachian volumes already plummeted 682/d to 34,745 MMcf/d as the ongoing cold snap hit supply. The region is down 2,189 MMcf/d versus recent two-week highs.
Freeze-offs are already taking effect, with Pittsburgh projected to experience overnight lows near 0°F by January 27.
Winter is Coming for Appalachia
This week's Appalachian nat gas production is already down 1.1 Bcf/d versus last week, and the extreme cold is just getting started.
Pittsburgh overnight lows are headed to -6.8°F at their most intense levels next week, with this cold coming in… pic.twitter.com/l2oyl80cfe

NatGas "Tightening Shock" Sparks Historic Weekly Rally As Major Winter Storm Imminent
US natural gas futures surged as much as 75% over the past week, well above $5/mmBtu, driven by sharply colder weather forecasts (comparable to the 2021 Uri storm that paralyzed Texas' power grid), ongoing production freeze-offs, and a vicious market trap for bears that unleashed epic short covering.
As of Friday morning, around 0645 ET, front-month NatGas contracts in New York fell 1.4% to $4.97/mmBtu, after surging 63% over the last three trading sessions.
Prices were still on track for the biggest weekly gain on record, with Bloomberg data going back to 1990.
This week's surge was largely fueled by below-average temperature forecasts across the Lower 48, combined with the threat of a potentially historic winter storm stretching from Texas to the Northeast.
Widespread winter activity across more than half the country has raised freeze-off risks, particularly in southern gas-producing states and...

Plötzlich kontrolliert Trump-Vertrauter deutsche Tanklager und Pipelines (Focus)

|
Der US-Ölkonzern Sunoco übernimmt TanQuid, einen Betreiber kritischer deutscher Energieinfrastruktur. Eigentümer von Sunoco ist der US-Energiekonzern Energy Transfer, kontrolliert vom Milliardär Kelcy Warren. Warren gilt als langjähriger Großspender und politischer Unterstützer von Donald Trump. Besonders sensibel ist ein weiterer Aspekt der Übernahme: Zum Deal gehören laut Bericht 49 Prozent an der Fernleitungs-Betriebsgesellschaft, die Kerosin für Militärflugplätze transportiert, darunter auch der US-Luftwaffenstützpunkt Büchel in Rheinland-Pfalz.. --- Energieexperten warnen deshalb, Europa habe die Abhängigkeit von Russland durch eine neue geopolitische Abhängigkeit von den USA ersetzt – mit entsprechenden Risiken..
