Bentek Energy: "Natural Gas Outlook – 2012 and Beyond"

Bentek is probably as good as any of the natural gas data gatherers, good enough that the EIA uses their estimates for the weekly supply/demand report:


U.S. Natural Gas Supply - Gas Week: (12/12/12 - 12/19/12)

Percent change for week compared with:
 
last year
last week
Gross Production
1.82%
0.66%
Dry Production
1.80%
0.65%
Canadian Imports
-19.28%
0.62%
      West (Net)
-25.70%
7.56%
      MidWest (Net)
-6.93%
-11.10%
      Northeast (Net)
-17.57%
1.95%
LNG Imports
-56.12%
-10.27%
Total Supply

and good enough that that Platts bought the company a couple years ago.

This is a personal bookmark of a presentation that Bentek has been putting on for the last six months, most recently for the CFA Society in November.
