The majority of gas prices moved higher yesterday despite a healthy supply picture at the start of the session. Norwegian flows increased significantly and Dutch imports also rose which resulted in a long UK gas system. However, an outage led to a decrease in flows via the Langeled pipeline in the afternoon which helped the prompt climb higher. Fewer LNG deliveries into the UK also reduced send-outs, providing further upward pressure.

The UK gas system was short for the majority of yesterday’s session and LNG output is also set to decrease over the next few weeks which offered support to gas prices. Storage withdrawals ramped up in an attempt to balance the system, offsetting the drop in Dutch output. Meanwhile, Brent rallied higher and contributed to bullish movement further along the curve.

The UK gas system was oversupplied on Friday with demand levels 10% below the seasonal norm which helped near-curve gas contracts to decrease in price. Temperatures were expected to remain above average for the rest of November which also provided bearish pressure. Meanwhile, the outage at the Kvitebjorn gas field in Norway was resolved which led to an increase in flows via the Langeled pipeline.
