The Outlook includes insightful analysis of market data while being informed from an extensive network in the WA gas market. Some of the market ‘deep dives’ have included…

  • The rolling reliability concerns at the new supply projects and possible causes – will this continue?
  • The role of gas storage over the December / January gas shortage period – why Mondarra and Tubridgi played different roles
  • The inflection point in 2022 when short term / spot gas prices finally exceed medium term gas prices – why this happened and what next?
  • A review of the domestic gas policy – what we can expect going forward?
  • The nexus between coal reliability (lack of) and gas demand
  • The Perth Basin as a future supply option – what / when / how?

The Outlook aims to balance a commentary of current market events with a keen eye for future supply options.
