After more than a decade of lackluster performance, natural gas storage assets are back in vogue, and thriving. Consider the following gas storage trends in the U.S.:
Lease rates for securing Firm Storage Service (FSS) have reached and exceeded levels last seen during the super-cycle in the mid-to-late 2000’s;
Intense competition amongst customers to secure capacity and willingness to commit to longer-term contracts;
Sizable brownfield capacity is in various stages of development;
Recent M&A metrics for gas storage are robust; and
After more than a decade long hiatus, greenfield capacity additions are now being actively pursued.
The golden age of gas storage version 2.0 is underway.
