An Analysis of Price Volatility in Natural Gas Markets

Aug 17, 2007
This article presents an analysis of price volatility in the spot natural gas market, with particular emphasis on the Henry Hub in Louisiana. The purpose is to address whether natural gas prices have been more volatile in recent years and identify potential market factors that may contribute to price volatility. In addition to a first-order autoregressive error model, several graphical and statistical tools are used to examine trends and determine influencing factors. Although there is no demonstrated long-term trend in volatility, there are seasonal patterns and volatility is correlated strongly with storage dynamics.

Impact of Higher Natural Gas Prices on Local Distribution Companies and Residential Customers

Aug 15, 2007
This report examines some of the problems faced by natural gas consumers as a result of increasing heating bills in recent years and problems associated with larger amounts of uncollectible revenue and lower throughput for the local distribution companies (LDCs) supplying the natural gas. The report also discusses Federal, State, and utility assistance programs for consumers, and focuses on various innovative rate mechanisms used by LDCs, along with the use of physical and financial hedging as a risk-mitigating strategy. Lastly, the report analyzes the risk of LDCs and how the risk has changed since regulatory reform in the utility industry.

Additional Petroleum-Related Data for the International Energy Annual 2005

Aug 13, 2007
Excel spreadsheets with time series data for the years 1980-2005 for carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of petroleum.

Therefore, data in the International Energy Annual 2005 may have been substantially revised relative to previous editions. (2) In this edition, we have also moved Cyprus from our Middle East region to our Europe region, changed the name of Serbia and Montenegro to Former Serbia and Montenegro, and added the countries of Montenegro and Serbia to our Europe region.
