Marcellus, Utica Gas Output Will Displace Other Regions' VolumesAnalysts: Vincent G Piazza & Gurpal DosanjhJul 7, 2015Natural gas volume growth inthe U.S. Northeast is likely toslow through 2017 as productionrises faster than pipeline capacity,pressuring price differentials acrossthe region. Operators have soughtout new markets to absorb theexcess volume, helping to diluteseasonal supply and demandimbalances and boost prices. Areversal of typical Northeast flow willhurt basis prices across the U.S. inthe long term. Marcellus and Uticaoutput may surpass 19 billion cubicfeet a day in July, about 25% of U.S.volume.

Plethora of Northeast Gas Pressures Other Markets Into 2017Analysts: Vincent G Piazza & Gurpal DosanjhJul 7, 2015The price spread between cheapNortheast U.S. natural gas andmore expensive Henry Hub gas willstay wide through at least 2017,when additional pipeline capacitycomes online. The Northeast,historically a region with premiumpricing that imports gas duringhigh seasonal demand, is nowmore reliant on its own lower-costoutput. However, limited intermittenttakeaway capacity has reducedprices. With more takeaway, itsgas will find new markets anddifferentials may improve whileprices elsewhere are pressured.

Northeast U.S. Gas Pipeline Additions May Affect Regional PricesAnalysts: Vincent G Piazza & Gurpal DosanjhJul 7, 2015About 30 billion cubic feet a dayof pipeline reversal, expansionand new construction projectsmay be built through 2018, helpingNortheast U.S. E&Ps transportgas within and out of the region.About 17 bcf could be sent to theGulf Coast and South, competingwith legacy gas and suppressingprices. About 6 bcf may flow east,increasing supply to capacity-shortNew England and reducing extremeseasonal pricing in Boston. Anadditional 5 bcf of capacity will headtoward the Midwest, displacing gasfrom the Rockies.

NGL Price Pressure to Remain as Northeast Adds to OversupplyAnalysts: Vincent G Piazza & Michael KayJul 7, 2015The Marcellus output glut that'sstraining infrastructure is alsodepressing prices of natural gasliquids. NGL supply has surged 12-fold in the past five years. Whileoutput growth will be more subdued,demand will lag behind risingvolume, forcing producers to leaveethane, the largest NGL component,in the gas stream. Projects such asMariner East and West will allowethane exports from the NortheastU.S. While Enterprise's propaneconnector will join East and WestCoast flows, domestic oversupplywill remain.

Natural Gas, NGL Flows Rebalance, Yet Weak Prices Will PersistAnalysts: Vincent G Piazza & Gurpal DosanjhJul 7, 2015Abundant natural gas liquids fromthe three key U.S. oil plays, alongwith stout natural gas volumefrom the Northeast, will maintainpressure on regional gas and NGLprices even with potential exportdemand. Volume will convergealong the Gulf Coast and Southeastas flows rebalance. Gas from themain oil plays accounts for about20% of total domestic output, whileNortheast gas makes up 25%.Less drilling will narrow the supplyand demand imbalance, thoughexpected demand may weaken ifexports don't materialize.
