Tim Beggans, President of Elk Trading Company, reviews the latest Goldman Sachs Exchanges discussion with Samantha Dart (Co-Head of Global Commodities Research) on the European natural gas crisis, Qatari LNG disruptions, and what it means for the U.S. market heading into winter. Key topics covered: Seasonality of natural gas demand and why winter is the critical deadline Current U.S. storage and production strength vs. Europe’s inventory shortfall Damage to Qatari LNG trains

The Week’s Main Drivers: The U.S. natural gas market continues to balance record supply against weather-driven demand and rising LNG exports. • EIA Storage: +16 Bcf injection vs. +19 Bcf last year and the 5-year average of +29 Bcf — a notably bullish storage print. • LNG flows: Spot cargoes are increasingly tracking toward Europe as regional supply risks persist. Norway’s Ormen Lange outage has been extended to February 1, 2027, removing an important source of European supply

Source: Gassco Europe’s natural gas market is entering winter with little room for error. Storage remains below last year’s levels, LNG competition is intensifying, and another Norwegian supply disruption is making the margin even thinner. Ormen Lange: Another Hole in the Boat Norway’s Ormen Lange field has become an increasingly important concern. One of its two subsea compressor stations is out of service following a technical failure, cutting production by approximately 8.
