Natural Gas Prices Could Spike As EU Prepares to Slash More Russian Gas
- Brussels has been urging EU countries to phase out Russian fossil fuels by 2027.
- The EU will have to contend with even less Russian gas after Ukraine signaled it has no intention to renew the current 5-year pipeline transit agreement with Moscow.
- Luckily for Europe, it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances for the continent to run out of gas any time soon with storage levels currently at historical highs.
Back in 2019, Russia and Ukraine inked a five-year pipeline transit agreement to supply natural gas to EU countries. Both countries have continued to honor the deal despite two years of war raging in Ukraine. But now the EU will have to contend with even less Russian gas after Ukraine signaled it has no intention to renew the pact when it expires on December 31, while EU energy chief Kadri Simson has indicated that the EU executive has "no interest" in pushing to revive the agreement.
And now, the EU is warning member countries to prepare for the worst-case scenario in the event the loss is accompanied by a harsh winter. Ukraine gas amounts to 5% of total EU gas imports with Aura Sabadus, a senior analyst at the ICIS market intelligence firm, telling Politico that Austria, Hungary and Slovakia are likely to be the hardest hit when the imports are cut off. Such a scenario would likely trigger another gas price rally, with prices having hit record highs shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. The situation is further exacerbated by the recent decision by Berlin to unilaterally tax gas exports, making it harder for these countries to swap Russian imports for supplies coming via Germany, Italy or Turkey.Related: 2 Ways to Play Europe’s $800 Billion Energy Crisis
"We should avoid steps that will damage the work done and strengthen the Russian aggressor," Czech Industry Minister Jozef SÃkela said of the levy last week.
Brussels has been urging EU countries to phase out Russian fossil fuels by 2027. The bloc has so far managed to phase out about two-thirds of Russian gas imports and increasing imports from the U.S. and Norway. The EU executive says losing Russian supplies through Ukraine may lead to higher transport costs while storage levies imposed between the bloc’s countries could "make this diversification more difficult and costly."
Ample Gas Inventories
Luckily for Europe, it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances for the continent to run out of gas any time soon with storage levels currently at historical highs.
Commodity analysts at Standard Chartered have predicted that EU gas inventories will finish the current withdrawal season at a record high, setting the scene for a summer of low prices.
StanChart notes that there was a market tightening in mid-January when a cold snap pushed weekly draws above six billion cubic meters (bcm) and narrowed the surplus above the five-year average. However, the tightening was only brief, and inventories have climbed above the five-year average while draws have dropped below 1.7 bcm.
StanChart has forecast that the continent will finish the current withdrawal season with a new record of at least 67.5 bcm of gas, beating the previous record of 63.9 bcm. In contrast, Europe finished the 2022 season with just 29.1 bcm of gas shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, pushing Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) prices to record highs (current prices are more than 90% below their 2022 peak). StanChart has predicted that low gas prices will allow some lost demand to return.
EU gas demand for the first 16 days of February was 12.4% lower compared to the previous year’s comparable period and 18.4% lower than in February 2022. However, StanChart has warned that some demand will not return no matter how low prices fall thanks to some industrial capacity shutting down, moving to other regions or switching to other feedstocks.
Meanwhile, weak demand has continued to depress U.S. gas markets, with Henry Hub gas prices nearly 30% lower in the year-to-date. The market has, however, kicked off the new week on a bullish note with prices spiking after natural gas giant EQT Corp. (NYSE:EQT) announced it would cut output in response to low prices.
On Monday, EQT announced that it will curtail ~1B cf/day of natural gas production through March, after which it will reassess market conditions to determine its next course of action. The top U.S. natural gas producer cited "the current low natural gas price environment resulting from warm winter weather and consequent elevated storage inventories" for its decision. The curtailments will total 30B-40B cf of the company’s net production during the first quarter. Other leading gas producers including Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:CHK), Antero Resources Corp.(NYSE:AR) and Comstock Resources Inc. (NYSE:CRK) have announced plans to reduce drilling this year
Henry Hub gas price was up 7.3% to trade at $1.97/MMBtu at 12.30 pm ET; United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (NYSEARCA:UNG) gained 7.4% while ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas (NYSEARCA:BOIL) spiked 14.9%.

Two Countries That Could Break Putin's Gas Grip On Europe
At this moment, a fast-moving development is unfolding in Europe’s energy industry that is gaining more attention by the day.
Europe’s energy crisis, triggered by Russia’s early 2022 invasion of Ukraine, put an end to decades of reliance on cheap natural gas supplies from Russia.
In the short term, this meant significantly higher energy prices throughout Europe, with energy costs rising by 40.8% annually within the EU as of September 2022.
And while natural gas prices have pulled back a bit over the past several months, the fact remains that Europe is badly in need of a long-term solution for its natural gas needs.
After decades of dependence on cheap Russian gas, the situation within Europe has changed in a meaningful way.
- The European Union has recognized that their energy reserves and security can no longer be dependent on cheap Russian gas. This has spurred a renewed interest in developing potentially significant reserves within Europe that have been largely ignored for decades...
- The EU has now endorsed natural gas as “green” and designated it a transition fuel as we move toward a renewable energy future...
- Germany has moved away from nuclear power generation, leading to an increase in its need for natural gas...
- And the ongoing war in Europe – including sabotaged pipelines connecting Russia and Germany – has dramatically increased the urgency for bringing new supplies of natural gas online within Europe.
But one company is emerging as a potential leader in the race for home-grown solutions to energy crisis: MCF Energy (TSXV:MCF; OTC:MCFNF). This is an exciting player in Europe, with an array of assets that offer unique exposure to domestic natural gas.
The team leading MCF quickly recognized this opportunity to help strengthen Europe’s energy security...
And they bring with them extensive expertise in the European energy markets and geology, as well as an impressive track record in capital markets.
Potentially Massive European Natural Resources... Overlooked for Decades
Because most of Europe was so dependent on cheap Russian gas, a number of potentially massive resource opportunities within Europe have been sitting idle.
With decades of experience in the energy sector, and a deep understanding of Europe’s geology, the team was uniquely qualified to search for the most promising assets to help spur European production.
The company’s two highest-priority projects have a clear path to market, and are located in two of Europe’s most supportive jurisdictions.
Welchau: Up to a Trillion Cubic Feet Prospect in Austria
Located in the foothills of the Austrian Alps, the Welchau Gas Prospect contains over 140 meters of potential oil and gas-bearing thickness and carries the potential for up to a trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The property is analogous to large anticline structures discovered in Kurdistan and the Italian Apennines. In fact, the structure at Welchau is so large you can actually see it from space.
Another well was drilled back in the 1980s just five kilometers away from Welchau, the Molln-1 well flowed at 3.5 million per day and had 40 barrels of condensate for every 1000 cubic feet of natural gas. This well was never produced probably due to economic reasons at that time when companies were mainly looking for oil.
The existence of this well strongly suggests that there is gas and condensate in the system with a good sealing layer, helping significantly de-risk the project for the company.
The company is moving quickly on the Welchau gas prospect agreeing to fund the Welchau-1 well costs up to 50% of the cap of EUR 5.1 million to earn a 25% economic interest in the Welchau Investment Area. The Welchau gas prospect has significant gas resource potential, located in the heart of Europe at a relatively shallow drill depth and proximal to gas pipelines. Welchau is targeting the same reservoirs as the nearby Molln-1 well, which tested gas in 1989.
The company announced that its investment partner and operator, ADX Energy Ltd., had spudded the Welchau well on February 24, 2024 Drilling is expected to take 39 days.
German Assets: Genexco Acquisition Brings Licenses for Four Large-Scale Project Areas
In April 2023, MCF Energy (TSXV:MCF; OTC:MCFNF) acquired 100% of Genexco GmbH, a private German oil and gas company. This acquisition helped position the company as a future leader in natural gas exploration in Germany with 100% ownership of four licenses of German natural gas exploration and development projects with a local German speaking staff and office.
These projects include:
Lech:
Lech is a concession in Bavaria covering 10 square kilometers with three previously drilled wells and two discoveries. One well tested gas at a rate of over 24 MMCFD and a second, deeper well which produced oil with gas at a rate of about 180 BOPD. The third well encountered the Oil/Water contact in a separate fault block from the discovery wells.
Reentry of the property’s Kinsau #1 well is planned in Q2 of 2024. This is the gas well which tested at a maximum flow rate of over 24 MMCFD in 1983. ? With improved stimulation technology over the past 40 years the company hopes to improve on these production rates.
The company has a 20%interest in an oil and gas exploration license held by Genexco Gas GmbH. MCF's 20% interest in the first well is carried (i.e., does not bear the costs of drilling) up to EUR 5,000,000.
Lech East
The company also acquired Lech East, a substantial natural gas exploration license spanning approximately 100 km² in Southwest Bavaria, Germany, granted by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy for an initial term of three years.
Lech East is adjacent to the Lech license area described above.
Modern 3D seismic interpretation, aided by Machine Learning and AI, has yielded very promising prospects, offsetting the significant historical gas and oil discoveries in the Lech license. The company plans a EUR 4.6 million exploration program at Lech East, including well drilling.
Reudnitz Gas Field
Reudnitz is located approximately 70 kilometers southeast of Berlin in a rural area, with proven phases: Helium (Approx. 0.2%) and methane (14-20%) associated with high nitrogen content (>80%). The gas separation technologies and economics are well established to capture these resources.
Gaffney Cline & Associates ("GCA") has independently assessed the best estimate (P50) of 118.7 Billion cubic feet (BCF) of Methane, and 1.06 BCF of Helium resource. Separately, GCA has 4.4 million barrels of oil in the shallower Zechstein formation. Red circles are previously drilled wells that found gas.
Erlenwiese Exploration License
The company also acquired a significant exploration concession named Erlenwiese, spanning 87 km² in Western Germany.
Erlenwiese is positioned within the Central Rhein Graben hydrocarbon system, essential for Europe's long-term energy security. This block has two well defined drill prospects on seismic.
MCF has acquired the latest 2D and is in the process of obtaining the available 3D seismic data. The company plans to perform its own AI and Machine-Learning analysis to further supplement and de-risk its geological and geophysical analysis of the area.
MCF Energy Ltd. is Led by a Team with a Proven Track Record of Success
One of the most intriguing aspects of the company’s story is its leadership team. They are a team of executives with a proven history of delivering value for stakeholders in a big way.
For example, back in 2004, several of the principals of MCF Energy co-founded Bankers Petroleum Ltd. to revitalize the Patos Marinza oil field in Albania. The results were nothing short of astounding. This team helped deliver production growth of over 2,000% by 2015...and they took the company from an initial $7.8 million financing all the way to an acquisition of C$575 million, representing a premium of 98% over its latest closing price.
Then, just a few years later, they did it again. In 2008, BNK Petroleum was spun out of Bankers Petroleum to explore for shale-gas in Europe with two of the team members leading the way. Stakeholders in this spin-off saw the company’s share price shoot up 4,000% and hit a peak market cap of over $900 million.
In fact, BNK Petroleum established explorations in six countries, and became the largest oil and gas rights holder in Europe.
