With unseasonably cold temperatures sweeping the nation, natural gas inventories are hitting a deficit, driving the price of natural gas within range of $4.00 per million British thermal units (mmbtu) and spiking the value of natural gas assets owned by oil and gas energy company First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN).

The Energy Information Association reported that operators recently withdrew 45 billion cubic feet of natural gas from storage as severe cold blanketed the nation. The withdrawal was above last year’s draw of 38 bcf, and much colder temperatures are being forecast for the winter, beginning this month. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and The Weather Channel are calling for colder-than-average temperatures over the northern tier of states, from Washington state to northern New England.

“As it gets colder, people are forced to use the heater more, even in usually mild climate regions such as the Southwest and Southeast,” FTTN Interim CEO Robert Federowicz said. “We expect our natural gas plays to be in even more demand as inventories decrease.”

Industry researcher Seeking Alpha reports that expected frigid temperatures over key regions of the U.S. will lead to large withdrawals from natural gas inventories in the coming weeks, driving the price for natural gas to higher than expected levels.

First Titan Corp. is building a substantial collection of oil and natural gas properties and is dedicated to the continuing development of energy assets throughout North America alongside companies such as Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CLR), Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK), SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) and Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: UPL).
