US natural gas prices fell more than 2% to around $3.04 per million British thermal units on Tuesday, extending their decline to a third session as forecasts pointed to limited heating and cooling demand. The NOAA’s latest outlook calls for mostly near-normal temperatures across the eastern US over the next two weeks, reducing expectations for a major increase in gas-fired power consumption. TC Energy lifted the force majeure on Sunday after completing repairs to the Mountaineer XPress pipeline in West Virginia, allowing additional gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions to reach the market. Feedgas deliveries to nine major US LNG export facilities averaged 18 billion cubic feet per day in September, up from 17.3 bcfd in August. US production has averaged 112.3 bcfd this month, although daily output has recently eased. Inventories were estimated at 2.4% above normal in the week through September 25, compared with 2.9% previously.
