Natural Gas Supplies Continue to Build Despite Price Rally

  Natural gas prices have been in a long slump as production has grown dramatically in recent years as advances in technology have unlocked vast new reserves. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration Gross, gas output hit a record high of 72.74 bcf per day in January. The United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) is down roughly 25 percent year-to-date.

Since hitting a decade low of $1.90 per million British thermal units in April natural gas prices have rallied approximately 47 percent. While prices have rallied sharply, natural gas supplies have also continued to grow despite producers slashing the number of natural gas rigs. Data from Baker Hughes shows that the number of rigs drilling for natural gas has fallen to 473 from 895 a year ago. At the same time oil drilling rigs have surged by 355 from a year ago, this is key factor as roughly a quarter of natural gas production in the U.S. is a byproduct of oil drilling according to the EIA. Natural gas stocks are currently 14.6 percent higher than last year, and 12 percent higher than the five-year average.

"You're not going to permanently fix the gas market unless oil prices are meaningfully lower," said Pearce Hammond, an analyst with Houston investment bank Simmons.
