Not sure when this was asked, but from what I have read recently (9/20/09), because the demand for natural Gas is so low right now (given the current economic condition), supply of Natural Gas is at very high levels, to the point where storage of extra supply will/has become an issue (Gas is very low density, difficult to store).

With all this extra supply, not to mention the low price for the resource itself, production has/will decrease... for the time being.

What factors affect gas prices?

HEATING: During cold months, typically November through March, residents and businesses use more natural gas for heating. If the winter months are unusually frigid, there is a higher demand for natural gas. With a higher demand for natural gas, the price increases. SEVERE WEATHER: Severe weather can affect natural gas prices. Much of the production of natural gas comes from the Gulf Coast of the United States, which are prone to hurricanes. When hurricanes hit, the production of natural gas along the coast is hindered, which causes the price of natural gas to rise. LACK OF DEMAND: A decrease in demand for natural gas leads to lower prices for natural gas. During an economic downturn, consumers use less natural gas, resulting in a surplus of natural gas. This surplus drives the price of natural gas down.
