A "Shocking" Shut-in Scenario for Canadian Natural Gas

OilPrice.com -- Canada is full of natural gas.

The country's gas storage market is near capacity, in fact -- much earlier than normal in the current gas injection season.

One scenario -- which no one wants -- has storage completely filling up... something that has never happened before.

What would happen to the price of natural gas in Canada, and who's most vulnerable in this scenario?

In the U.S., analysts are talking about theoretical full storage just before withdrawal season starts.

In Canada, though, the issue is much more pressing—still hypothetical, but certainly still possible..

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,064 Points:2,347,460 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Jul 19, 2012 2:46:00 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Canadian storage facilities are full, so prices should be less? Right! Just like US NG prices, they will never go down! My home gas bill has not gone down, so why should high storage capacity NG prices go down too. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012
CdnLynx Champion Author Ontario Posts:1,024 Points:524,960 Joined:May 2008	Message Posted: Jul 18, 2012 11:31:54 PM Ignore CdnLynx Report Abuse Notice in the mail/bill last week from Enbridge; natural gas supplier to homes and business in Ontario, states rate increase for this winter. Some what surprised, as natural gas consumption was low last year, due to warmer weather in N. America. They must be hoping for a frigid winter this season. The indication by the summer heat now in N. America, including the northern territories would possibly suggest that maybe another warmer winter; but who am I to say, I'm no weather person. Maybe this will be an anomaly and our thermometers will bottom out. Hope not, I'm hoping that eventually I will have palm trees and orange trees growing yr. round. Anyone for a pina colada with a slice or orange (they may not go together, who cares, it's my dream)!!! {:-)\| [Edited by: CdnLynx at 7/19/2012 12:33:51 AM EST]
