EIA Sept. STEO: Appalachia Flat While Permian, Haynesville Boom

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) dropped its September Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) yesterday, and for once the natural gas headline numbers barely budged. Henry Hub is forecast at $3.43/MMBtu for 2026 and $3.28/MMBtu for 2027 — a penny and three cents below last month. After August's 23-cent haircut, that's practically a rounding error. The interesting stuff this month isn't in the price line. It's in the regional production tables, where EIA lays out exactly who is growing and who isn't. Spoiler: it's the same story as last month, only now EIA has put hard numbers on it.
