Natural gas prices have continued their downward trend this winter as a result of warmer than normal temperatures, ample natural gas in storage, and growing production. Population weighted heating degree days since November 1, 2011 are down 12% nationally from the 30 year average. Total working natural gas in underground storage in the lower 48 states was 3,098 Bcf for the week ending January 20, 21% above the storage levels from one year ago. Daily dry gas production averaged about 64.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) in January, up almost 10% from last January.

Indeed. Last weeks announcement from CHK and others might be enough to prop up the futures for a few days or weeks but unless the market sees action, cash NG will continue to move closer to zero.
