- Natural gas injection season so far this year implies a deficit of 1.29 Bcf/d.

- Price reaction today as a result is the market forcing a supply or demand response. Since global LNG prices remain elevated, the market is trying to force producers to respond via higher supplies. But shale gas producers have already echoed a disciplined capex approach.
