Movement on the gas curve was largely bearish on Tuesday, with near-curve contracts taking direction from the prospect of higher Norwegian supply. Norwegian imports are expected to rise tomorrow as the unplanned outage at the Asgard field should be resolved today. Further along the curve, prices were pressured down by a drop in coal and oil.

Gas contracts added to their price on Monday as the system remained undersupplied due to constraints on Norwegian imports, with maintenance work at the Heimdal platform the main factor behind reduced flows. The gains were less prominent further along the curve as oil prices stabilised.

Gas prices climbed higher on Friday as the UK gas system was undersupplied throughout the session. Outages at Kollsnes and Kristin were resolved but maintenance on the Vesterled pipeline restricted Norwegian flows. Further out, rising coal and oil provided additional support to contracts.

Tighter supply levels in the UK resulted in higher spot contracts on Thursday, with rising coal supporting prices further out. Maintenance at the Vesterled and Forties pipelines impacted Norwegian & UKCS supply, however, the outage at Kollsnes was resolved.

An expected rise in Russian flows to Europe helped to pressure down the market in the morning, but the on-going outage at Kollsnes erased losses on the near-curve as the session progressed; production capacity at the facility was down by 50mcm/ day. A rebound in oil prices also supported the far-curve but this was slightly offset by weakening coal.
