European Oil and Gas Monthly: February 2022

Just when the gas market appeared to have settled down, the invasion of Ukraine brought with it the risk that the flows of gas may cease between the world’s second-largest gas producer and its second-largest market. Although the daily data on gas flows from Gazprom have disappeared in the past two weeks, anecdotally, we hear that the gas is still flowing. Worries that gas may stop flowing was enough to push gas prices to EUR 100/MWh by the end of the month, and a reversal of the declines that were evident otherwise. LNG supply remained very high at 11.4 BCM, even if significantly below that of January. The good news is that inventories look less stretched, although they are still 24% below where they were in 2021.
