Will the Henry Hub Premium Hold? A 2026 Natural Gas Outlook
About this episode
The episode discusses the outlook for the natural gas market in 2026, focusing on the Henry Hub price premium and production challenges amidst changing supply dynamics.
In this strategic outlook for the year ahead, NGI's Christopher Lenton, managing editor of Mexico, and Patrick Rau, senior vice president of research and analysis, sit down to discuss the natural gas market in a shifting supply landscape. While industry sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish, the discussion explores a critical tension: Can a 6% Henry Hub price premium survive the current storage surplus on top of the unpredictability of winter weather? From the massive growth in LNG exports to the regulatory hurdles facing data center expansion, the conversation delves into whether North American producers can ramp up production in time to meet the 4 Bcf/d demand surge projected for the coming year.
