Understanding The Hormuz Risk Premium in Global #LNG
1/ The Strait of #Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for LNG. ~90 bcm/year (≈ 8.8 bcfd) of LNG from Qatar & UAE passes through it — roughly 20% of global LNG supply. On average, 6–8 LNG tankers/day transit the strait.
2/ Despite decades of tension, Hormuz has never been fully closed to LNG shipping — even during wars and major regional crises. A full shutdown would also cripple Gulf exporters, making it a last-resort (“nuclear”) option.
3/ Markets still price a Hormuz risk premium. Why?
#Qatar & #UAE LNG have no alternative export routes, so even threats raise LNG prices via higher insurance, freight rates, and supply-loss risk — especially for JKM (Asia) and TTF (Europe).
4/ A real disruption would be severe: losing ~20% of global LNG would tighten supply fast. Asia would be hit first, Europe would feel knock-on price spikes, shipping rates would surge, and buyers would scramble for US LNG and other marginal supply.

Haynesville Curtailment: The Multi-Bcf Question https://t.co/wNE2ntRGY0
Public:
Expand Energy (EXE): Largest US gas producer, ~3.2 Bcf/d Haynesville. 2026 capex guided for “maintenance mode” unless prices rise “materially higher” than $3.50/MMBtu. No plans to add rigs at current strip.
Comstock Resources (CRK): ~4–6 rigs, focus on Western Haynesville. Aggressively reducing D&C costs (now ~$31M/well). 2026 plan is “hold acreage,” with TILs and pad size flexible to price. No 2026 volume growth unless strip >$4.
BP: All have cut rigs or deferred TILs in 2025; BP is considering adding rigs if $4+ strip holds for 2026.
Private:
Aethon Energy: Largest private, 7 rigs, “maintenance mode” in 2025/26. Explicitly requires $5/MMBtu for growth.
GEP Haynesville II, Tellurian: Focused on core; breakevens $2.70–$3.20/MMBtu. No growth at sub-$3.50/MMBtu.
PJM 2026 Forecast: The Load Is Coming (Delayed, Not Denied)
https://t.co/qz3qjYuSnG
PJM 2026–2030 Load Forecast: Key Takeaways
PJM’s 2026 Long-Term Load Forecast (Jan 2026) projects RTO-wide summer peak load to grow at 3.6%/yr (10-yr avg), reaching ~222 GW by 2036 (up ~66 GW from today).
Winter peak load is forecast to grow even faster at 4.0%/yr, reaching ~205 GW by 2036.
Net energy for load is expected to increase by 4.8%/yr over the next decade.
Change vs. Prior Forecast:
Near-term (2026–2032) peak demand was revised down by 0.7–2.6% vs. last year, mainly due to:Stricter vetting of large load (data center) requests
Softer economic/EV adoption assumptions
Long-term growth remains robust, with the main risk being the timing of large load additions, not the magnitude.

The Venezuela Shift: Global Oil Market Impacts of US Asset Control
https://t.co/YGOyDtJuwy
Been playing around with the new updated https://t.co/zbtHwQAU0Q courtesy of @ComdtyAI (it's an excellent natgas agent).
Taking the reported breakeven price estimate, and perusing through individual well data via TXRRC on Waynesville performance to date. I'm can't math these wells to average 32 BCF EUR, not even close. How are these analysts coming up with this??
Golden Pass LNG hits major milestone: first cool-down cargo arrived Dec 2025. 3 trains (total 2.4 Bcf/d) ramping up through early 2027. Bullish for US gas—feedgas demand rising, tightening Gulf Coast basis. Initial exports likely to Europe, shifting to Asia as demand rebounds.

Pretty big spread between S/D and PipeScrape this week. Risk as high as 63 on the scrapes, but S/D is south of 54 ('south' means 'less than' for nitpickers). #NaturalGas#NatGas
$RRC Two slides I think are key...
First, production growth. They forecast 400mmcf but only get 250mmcf more takeaway. I don't know the details but my guess is the 150mmcf delta would be in-basin demand - just a guess though.
peak ResComm?
heat-pumps replacing gas furnaces cut winter storage needs.
conservative efficiency gain estimates i've seen would cut ~120bcf each winter going forward
Haynesville at 41 rigs.
Estimating 10-15% rig efficiency gains since the last time we were at 41 rigs in the Haynesvile.
~46 equivalent
Activity in the region picking up with NG3 and LEG estimated to come on by end of year.
