Winter Weather Knocks as Much as 25 Bcfd Off U.S. Gas Output

Rystad Energy tracks 82 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) of flows from interstate pipelines in our North America Gas dashboard. We see an initial loss of about 2 Bcfd from the Bakken, Rockies and the Mid-Continent, followed by a more abrupt drop of 12 Bcfd, primarily driven by the Permian and the broader Gulf Coast region, with losses somewhat limited in Appalachia. In total, we expect the impact could potentially be closer to 20-25 Bcfd given that the Permian and Haynesville regions have more intrastate pipelines, which are not captured in the…
