Western Canada Natural Gas Supply Pressure Persists Through 2027
Western Canada's natural gas forward curves are signaling persistent supply pressure through 2027. This trend is evident despite expected increases in demand due to additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
The region's major hubs, including the Westcoast Station 2 and AECO, have seen prices fall below $1/MMBtu. These discounts persist into 2027, indicating a sustained supply surplus.
Canadian flows south have fallen sharply, contributing to the supply pressure in Western Canada. This decline is likely due to increased demand for LNG exports, which may be drawing gas away from domestic markets.
