Topaz Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: TOPZ), today reported that while
natural gas prices are forecasted to rise, natural gas will remain
attractive compared to the price of oil, according to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Industry forecasts supported by the Henry Hub Natural Gas
Futures, which set the prices for the sale of natural gas produced
by Topaz (see
www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/natural-gas/natural-gas.htm),
predict that natural gas prices will climb to over $4.35 per Mcf
this year and continue to a range of $4.40 to $5.26 per Mcf during
2011.
Regardless of increasing natural gas prices, the EIA's Annual
Energy Outlook for 2010 predicts that the ratio of low sulfur light
crude oil prices to Henry Hub natural gas prices on an energy
equivalent basis will remain high.
This will make natural gas more attractive as a substitute for
petroleum in some transportation uses and in GTL feedstock, which
also will increase demand for and prices of natural gas, yet even
with these increased prices, natural gas still will remain priced
attractively compared to oil.
