Understanding NatGas Price at Key Trading Hubs, Incl. the Northeast

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently published an interesting post about natural gas pricing hubs in North America. There are nearly 200 such pricing hubs. The hubs "provide transactional flexibility to buyers and sellers in the natural gas industry." As we've pointed out before, there is no one "price" for natural gas. Prices at various trading hubs can vary significantly. All pricing hubs compare themselves to the Henry Hub "benchmark" hub in Southern Louisiana. You may read about such-and-such as a hub trading a "discount" or "premium" to the HH. The EIA post explains how these hubs work and provides examples from various locations around the country, including three hubs in the northeast that flow Marcellus/Utica molecules.
