U.S. natural gas prices could fall
"substantially" over the next three to four years,
according to StrategicEnergy & Economic Research Inc. (SEER). Henry Hub prices could decline by as much as $2/MMBtu by2012, said SEER's CEO Ron Denhardt in a presentation today. Quoting the famous New York YankeesYogi Berra - "the future isn't what it use to be" - Denhardt warned that several economic conditions would
drive down U.S. natural gas prices
, including a
weak dollar,
a strong
demand response, and higher-than-expected growth in natural gas production, among other things.
