堪萨斯城联储调查:天然气价格上涨,但不足以带来盈利

堪萨斯城联邦储备银行的能源调查显示,第二季度能源活动有所下降,因为生产商预计 2024 年下半年天然气价格会上涨,但不足以实现盈利。

堪萨斯城联邦储备银行最新的能源调查显示,尽管天然气价格在7月15日跌至两个月来的最低点,但生产商在即将到来的冬季还是看到了一些好转的迹象。

7 月 12 日发布的调查显示,目前天然气价格环境不容乐观。自 6 月中旬突破 3 美元/百万英热单位以来,亨利港天然气价格稳步下跌。7 月 23 日,天然气价格下跌了 2.23 美元/百万英热单位。

这些价格与受访者所说的在其开展业务的油田钻探实现盈利所需的平均价格形成了鲜明对比:3.47美元/百万英热单位。

KC Fed Survey: NatGas to Rise, but Not Enough for Profitability

The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank’s energy survey saw activity decline in the second quarter as producers look to the back half of 2024 for natural gas prices to improve—but not enough to turn a profit.

Even as the price of natural gas slipped to a two-month low on July 15, producers saw somewhat better times in the upcoming winter, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s most recent energy survey.

The survey, released on July 12, painted a less than rosy current price environment for natural gas. Since breaking $3/MMBtu in mid-June, Henry Hub prices have declined steadily. On July 23, prices had sunk $2.23/MMBtu.

Those prices contrast with what respondents said they needed on average for drilling to be profitable across the fields in which they are active: $3.47/MMBtu.
