Higher Gas Prices Are Coming
Higher Gas Prices Are Coming
Article Review : True.Land
The summer has come with a bang, and after a subdued shoulder season for North American gas markets, demand is expected to soar.
Rigzone reports : Ade Allen, a Rystad Energy Analyst, made this statement in a Tuesday update to Rigzone on the North American gas and LNG market.
As temperatures climb across the area and more cooling is required in homes and businesses, Allen warned that gas prices will soon increase. “Strong supply and cooler weather kept prices low in the last few months,” Allen said in the report.
“The frequency of Cooling Degree Days (CDDs) has a significant impact on gas demand,” he continued. “And as much of the U.S. deals with a crippling early-summer heat wave, there will be a material uptick in gas demand.”
Due to minimal coal-to-gas switching and domestic gas prices being competitive, Allen highlighted in the report that Rystad modeling predicts daily Lower 48 gas power consumption will approach 50 billion cubic feet per day this summer.
In the summer months of June through August, Allen stated, “We expect gas for power demand to average 42.4 billion cubic feet per day, with demand peaking in July at 45.0 billion cubic feet per day.”
“South-Central and East regions will utilize the most, averaging 12.7 billion cubic feet per day and 18.5 billion cubic feet per day, respectively,” the author continued.
Trajectory of CDDs
As Rigzone reported :
Domestic balances would be significantly impacted by rises in gas-for-power demand as the trend of CDDs alters with warmer weather, Allen said in the report.
“Our estimates indicate CDDs will average 332 Fahrenheit days over the summer period (June to August), which is comparable with the same period in 2022,” he continued.
“Weather is unpredictable and our forecasts are conservative as a result, so if temperatures are warmer than the three-year average, gas for power demand averages will be higher than expected,” the meteorologist added.
As temperatures in Texas are predicted to average above 100 degrees Fahrenheit this week, possibly stressing the system, Allen warned that this week might be a forerunner for regional gas demand overshooting predictions.
According to the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), natural gas made up around 56% of the fuel mix as of yesterday (Monday), Allen added.
“At those levels, natural gas is running at around 81 percent utilization relative to summer capacity, so if temperatures remain elevated, the regional market can expect higher gas demand,” he continued.

Oil and Gas Production Is Booming
Oil and Gas Production Is Booming
Last year, the oil and gas industry broke records in production and positive forecasting for December. In fact, oil production in North Dakota hit 1.4 million barrels per day. Which is a 2% increase within just one month’s time.
And you think that’s impressive? Gas jumped by 5%. All of these record-breaking metrics were attained despite the 35,000 barrels per day self-restriction placed on the industry.
And North Dakota isn’t the only case where that is happening.
Texas has been reported to be breaking the 1970s records of crude oil production. Over 25,000 new oil and gas jobs have been added. Texas has the largest gains, along with Oklahoma, New Mexico, and North Dakota.
There is no end in sight for the demand of the oil and gas industry to stop any time soon.

Excel Doesn’t “Excel” For Landmen
Excel Doesn’t “Excel” For Landmen
Once upon a time, landmen and land companies used Excel Spreadsheets to input all of their records and data. Oftentimes, these records would have issues such as incorrect data, improper calculations, and can easily become unorganized in the process of the natural business cycle. When you’re working in the land management business, time is of the utmost importance. While Excel has many great features, Excel as an application can be an ineffective system.
1. Reporting
A major flaw with Excel is that no matter how you build a report for a customer, it’s always going to look like an Excel spreadsheet. When you’re trying to get business in the door, land businesses should have only one thing on their mind at this stage in the process – “What does this say about our business?” Sending out an Excel spreadsheet doesn’t exactly scream “land professional”. With land management systems, like True Land, all of your reports come at just the click of a button with a professional PDF template to send to potential clientele.
2. Organization
The days of constantly scanning documents, organizing them in folders, and hiring a lot of administrative staff can be reduced significantly with land management applications. Allow your administrators to focus on keeping and maintaining clients. The True Land software, unlike Excel, allows for a more efficient research solution. Looking up project information and details has never been easier and more “real”. Real-time data allows for land professionals to be “in-the-know” with what is going on with their employees and centralize all important information into one application. With Excel, it can be delayed based on the workload of the individual(s). Reduce overhead and save money with a land management system like True Land.
3. Customizability
Excel is a static application. Meaning, Microsoft will likely not take into account how you do business or what your needs are for your business. It provides a lot of variety of resources but it does not work with you or will be willing to talk with you about your needs. The original programmers of True Land are able and willing to talk to you about what you will need for your business. If it’s a custom report, done. If it’s a change in viewability, or who can view certain records and who cannot. The fact is that True Land is much more than a land application. It’s a serviceable experience that’s meant to make land professional life easier.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to cost. Should you hire additional employees to maintain Excel spreadsheet records? Or would it be better suited to purchase an application at a low monthly rate? The numbers speak for themselves. If you are looking to start a land business or transition from Excel, you may call us at 903-531-0377 or on our Contact Form below. We look forward to hearing from you!
