AND WHAT AFFECTS DEMAND?

1. COMPETITION FROM OTHER FUELS
2. INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
3. PRICES
4. FLEXIBILITY.

USA IS HEADING RAPIDLY TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.

USA DEMAND HAS BEEN A MASSIVE DRIVER, IN THE FAKE MARKETS, FOR OIL PRICE. IT IS DECOUPLING RAPIDLY.

Do you care to post a link backing your assumptions up regarding America decoupling rapidly

IF, AS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE, USA STORMS INTO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, ITS A NO BRAINER, DEFACTO DECOUPLING.

One minor sign of fall where I live is the arrival of a letter from the gas utility announcing the “Fixed Price Option (FPO) lock-in price” for the winter season. FPO offers a price which people can accept and can plan on heating expenses for the winter. I haven’t taken advantage of it, I think only once in the last decade it would have saved money. However, it does make a decent estimate of the winter natural gas price.

For some reason or other, I’ve been tracking this along with monthly natural gas and electricity billing. At the very least, it gives me some sense of what’s happening in the industry without paying much attention.

Over the last six years, the FPO prices in US dollars per therm(*) were:

This is stunning – in three years the price of natural gas has fallen 46% – nearly half. This isn’t the whole cost to me. Bills include delivery charges which include a fixed rate per day, different tiers for the first several therms, and a lower rate for the rest, and some “Distribution Adjustment” that is per therm and could be folded into the other rates.

The Bakken Oil Fields in North Dakota are pumping a shit load of oil and gas out daily, second only to Texas, Tons of NG coming out too.

The oil needs refining but the gas is available NOW! Its going to go way down soon...But not oil!

THATS IS JUST ANOTHER FACTOR, THE WEAK, SELF DESTRUCTING DOLLAR.

SEE SHALE GAS, SHALE OIL, FRAKKING HAD AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE.

IT PROVIDES AN EFFECTIVE, WELL PROVEN WAY, TO STIMULATE AND INCREASE PRODUCTION FROM EXISTING, PAID FOR MATURE WELLS.
