The energy sector is off to a higher start supported by strength in the underlying commodities and in the major market indices. U.S. stock index futures edged higher as a jump in tech shares and U.S.-listed Chinese firms offset concerns about more sanctions toward Russia from the European Union and its allies.
WTI and Brent crude oil future rose this morning as the release of strategic reserves by consuming nations failed to eliminate supply concerns arising from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the lack of progress in renegotiating the Iranian nuclear deal. European leaders look to agree on further sanctions towards Russia in the coming days, a German government spokesperson said on Monday, adding that he was confident the European Union would remain united on fresh measures. France is considering a hefty EU-wide tariff on Russian energy in hopes that it could prove more efficient than an outright ban. As talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal pause, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said the United States is responsible for the lack of progress in the negotiations between Tehran and world powers in Vienna.

As energy buyers in Europe reorganize to wean themselves off Russian gas in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine—and natural gas prices skyrocket—Asian countries are facing some serious sticker shock. In the long run, the consequences could be even more profound—slower Asian LNG demand growth through the remainder of the first half of the decade.
Asia Pacific LNG imports are down 10% in the first quarter of 2022 from a year earlier. Chinese, Japanese and Indian LNG imports are down 11%, 14%, and 25% respectively. Asian LNG prices had roughly quintupled over the past year to $34 per million British Thermal Units (MMBtu) as of late March but still lagged behind the European benchmark which hit $39 per MMBtu,

In the Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022), Issues in Focus: Exploration of the No Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Builds, the EIA analyzes the effects on the energy market if no additional U.S. natural gas pipeline capacity is built between 2024 and 2050. In the No Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Builds case, we project 5% less natural gas production and 4% less natural gas consumption in 2050 compared with the Reference case. The EIA also projects that the Henry Hub spot price in 2050 would be 11% higher in that case than in the Reference case.
