Resumen de Is fracking affecting natural gas prices?
According to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which tracks the Henry Hub, the increased amount of fracking activity has driven prices consistently below the $5/MMBtu since the beginning of 2010.
Between 2000 and 2009, natural gas prices fluctuated from spikes as high as $18.48/MMBtu in February 2003, settling down to an average of around $4/MMBtu in 2009.
Here, natural gas prices have been falling consistently since gas production at the Marcellus shale began in 2009. Back then, prices were around $4/MMBtu. Now, prices sit around the $3.30/MMBtu mark.
