Factoid of the Day

The low price of natural gas is forcing producers to scale back production and costs, according to MarketWatch.com. Natural gas is selling at around $2.60 per million British thermal units. The price fell to $2.32 on 1/19/12, its lowest level since 2002. The majority of U.S. natural gas comes from dry-gas wells (nearly pure methane). For most dry-gas regions, the price of natural gas needs to be $3 to $4 just to break even. Natural gas storage stood at 3.1 trillion cubic feet on 1/20/12, 547 billion cubic feet above the five-year average, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
