(October 21, 2019) — A persistent oversupply of natural gas will drive the 2020 average price at the Henry Hub down to a level not seen in decades, according to a new report from IHS Markit. The oversupply, to be reinforced by a new surge in associated gas production from the Permian Basin, will push the average price down below $2/MMBtu for the year, the market intelligence provider maintains. That is the lowest prices have averaged in real terms since the 1970s. In nominal terms, the last time prices dipped under $2 was in 1995.
