Soaring premiums along the West Coast and deep discounts for the rest of the Lower 48 produced a week of varied price action for regional natural gas forwards during the Dec. 1-7 trading period, NGI’s Forward Look data show.

Amid reports of a curtailment in volumes flowing through Gas Transmission Northwest’s (GTN) Kingsgate location along the U.S./Canadian border, Pacific Northwest prices raced higher during the period. Northwest Sumas January fixed prices jumped $5.991 to $20.586/MMBtu, while Malin surged $6.122 to $18.909.

Points farther south saw gains of a similar magnitude, including at PG&E Citygate, where January fixed prices picked up $5.923 to reach $19.729.
