  US natural gas production growth is struggling to keep up with surging foreign and domestic demand, putting further pressure on already strained gas inventories and making them vulnerable to weather shocks, writes analyst John Kemp. Energy Information Administration data show working gas inventories in underground storage stood at 2,771 billion cubic feet on Sept. 9, the second-lowest seasonal level since 2010, as US gas-fired electricity generation and liquefied natural gas exports set records, Kemp writes.

  The proposed pipeline would connect the Nigerian and Moroccan gas networks, enabling Nigeria to supple both Europe and West Africa with its natural gas.
  
  The project involves 16 African countries and would stretch for 6,000 kilometers along the continent’s Atlantic coast, ensuring energy supplies to land-locked Niger, Burkina-Faso, and Mali.
  
  Nigeria has the highest known natural gas reserves of all on the continent:at least 5.8 trillion cubic meters, and potentially up to 17 trillion. The country has already emerged as a major supplier of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG).

• Ford stock drops more than 5% as supply costs to jump by $1 billion, parts shortages to leave more cars unfinished
  Ford Motor Co. shares dropped more than 5% in the extended session...
  Ford Motor Co. shares dropped more than 5% in the extended session Monday after the company said inflation and parts shortages will leave it with more unfinished vehicles than it had expected, reminding Wall Street supply-chain snags are far from over for automakers.
  
  Ford said it expects to have between 40,000 and 45,000 vehicles in inventory at the end of the third quarter “lacking certain parts presently in short supply.”
  

  
  
  The automaker also said that based on its recent negotiations, payments to suppliers will run about $1 billion higher than expected for the quarter, thanks to inflation. The company reaffirmed its outlook for the year, however.
  
  Ford’s warning “is evidence that auto parts shortages and supply-chain issues are still ongoing,” CFRA analyst Garrett Nelson told MarketWatch.
