Overabundance

A hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) this year is unlikely to impact U.S. natural gas markets as much as it would have in years past because an overabundance of shale supplies — and the drop in offshore drilling — has softened the blow of possible shut-ins, according to energy analysts.

With more liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports moving to more profitable European and Asian markets because of an overabundance of gas in North America, Russia’s Gazprom may be looking for a joint venture (JV) or a merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunity among the domestic shale players, an energy expert said Thursday.

Given the overabundance of liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification capacity on U.S. shores and the fact that LNG imports this year have been less than half of what they were in 2007, it’s tempting to call the U.S. bid for global gas a bust. But like they say about the weather, if you don’t like current LNG economics, wait and they will change, some time.
