Gas prices increased by the end of yesterday's session as unscheduled maintenance took place at a gas field in Norway which reduced flows into the UK. It was also announced that withdrawals from the Bergermeer storage facility will be cut by 50% starting from today. Meanwhile, gas demand rose to 267mcm, 63mcm above the seasonal norm, however, strong LNG supply and a milder weather forecast helped to limit the gains.

Healthy supply levels and a stronger Pound helped to pressure down gas prices yesterday. Numerous LNG deliveries are expected to arrive in the UK this month which resulted in high send-outs.
