Abundant Supplies Continue to Pressure Natural Gas Price -- Inventories Rise to Record High
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Chesapeake Energy and Devon Energy
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- An abundance of natural gas has continued to pressure prices of the commodity in 2012. Natural gas futures last week fell to their lowest levels in over a month after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported inventories climbed to an all-time high. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Natural Gas Industry and provides equity research on Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) and Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN).

A mild winter last year resulted in a drop in natural gas demand of 600 bcf from November-March. The drop in demand caused a glut of inventory, which pressured prices to the decade lows seen in April. The recent report released by the EIA showed that natural gas inventories increased by 65 billion cubic feet to a record 3.908 trillion cubic feet (TCF), surpassing the previous record of 3.852 tcf set in November 2011. According to analysts' the recent surge in prices have likely caused a drop in demand from utility companies who have reverted back to coal.
"The report was pretty bearish," said Aaron Calder, an analyst at Gelber & Associates. "It showed a lot of reverse fuel switching, or power generators switching from gas to coal."
