– Let’s look at the glass half-full – increased renewables distorting power generation markets
– need for load following/peaking services as driver of demand for storage
– low storage rates may be inadequate to support new build projects
– storage capacity may become scarce, theoretically increasing its value
– the need for enhanced injection capacity and deliverability to support LNG exports
– potential impact of PHMSA safety regulations in reducing storage capacity and deliverability
– Let’s look at the glass half-empty – low gas prices – no summer/winter spread on forward curve – low forward volatility – historical volatility and spreads are good but no one pays for it
– shale gas supply continues to be strong
