Short-Term Energy Outlook

Nov 10, 2015
EIA forecasts that Brent crude oil prices will average $54/b in 2015 and $56/b in 2016. The 2015 forecast price is unchanged from last month's STEO, and the 2016 forecast price is $2/b lower.

Natural Gas Monthly

Oct 30, 2015
•In August, for the second consecutive month, dry natural gas production was the highest for any month since EIA began reporting dry natural gas production data. Dry natural gas production has increased year-over-year each month since March 2013; dry production has not decreased year-over-year for any month since February 2013. Preliminary dry natural gas production for August 2015 was 2,373 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 76.5 Bcf/day. This level was a 4.97 Bcf/day (6.9%) increase from production of 71.6 Bcf/day in August 2014. •August's dry natural gas consumption level was the highest on record for the month. Preliminary total natural gas consumption for August 2015 was 2,072 Bcf, or 66.8 Bcf/day. This level was an increase of 6.8% from 1,940 Bcf in August 2014, or 4.3 Bcf/day. •Year-over-year total consumption of dry natural gas in August changed only slightly in three of the four consuming sectors, with the exception being electric power deliveries, which again increased significantly year to year. Deliveries of natural gas by consuming sector in August were as follows: Residential deliveries were 104 Bcf, or 3.35 Bcf/day, down 1.0% from 3.39 Bcf/day in August 2014. Residential consumption of natural gas was the lowest level for any month on record, dating back to 1973. Commercial deliveries were 138 Bcf, or 4.5 Bcf/day, a 0.7% increase from 4.4 Bcf/day in August 2014. Industrial deliveries were 598 Bcf, or 19.3 Bcf/day, down 1.5% from 19.6 Bcf/day in August 2014. Electric power deliveries were 1,026 Bcf, or 33.1 Bcf/day, a 14.1% rise from 29.0 Bcf/day in August 2014.

Natural gas price volatility fell over the first half of 2025 ›

The average historical volatility of the daily Henry Hub front-month futures price, a key benchmark for U.S. natural gas, trended downward through the first half of the year, with quarterly volatility falling from a recent high of 81% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 69% by mid-2025. This decline marks a return to more typical seasonal patterns and reflects greater market stability as storage inventories return to levels close to the prior five-year average. Since 2022, natural gas markets have experienced a series of extremes, including both unusually high and low inventory levels, which contributed to elevated price volatility. Recent quarters, by contrast, have seen more seasonally consistent price movements, suggesting that natural gas market dynamics have steadied amid record storage injections and more balanced inventories.
