Gas Strategies’ Pricing Service provides you with historical and projected pricing data for oil products and natural gas at both end user and wholesale/border levels for ten major European markets, allowing you to easily and accurately analyse price trends over the last 10 years and at least one year into the future. Price forecasts are developed under three different test case oil price scenarios as well Gas Strategies’ Base Case scenario and a recent ICE Brent forward curve.

Our base end user oil product and gas price data comes from a very wide range of sources, mainly official statistics, reported in several different units and currencies or even as indices. The pricing service allows users to easily compare all this information in either €/kWh, $/MMBtu, p/th or €/Mcm with instantaneous conversion.

Wholesale/border (including traded hub) gas price data are either publicly reported average prices or Gas Strategies’ estimates of import prices based on our understanding of the workings of different long term contracts (e.g. indexing fuels, pass through factors, escalators), learnt through publicly reported information, high level meetings with contacts in the industry and years of formulae modelling.

You can use the pricing service to:

  • Use prepared or conduct your own analysis on a consistent series of historical pricing data at wholesale and end user level for ten different countries in Europe in similar units and currencies
  • Compare our benchmark reported and estimated long term contract gas import prices against those in your portfolio and project these out 4-6 quarters under five different oil price scenarios
  • Analyse the margin between border and end user gas prices or the margin between end user gas and competing fuel prices in order to determine the change in value of gas at or over a period of time or for project evaluation analysis across the gas chain
  • Compare the historical and projected price differential/arbitrage opportunity between traded market and long term border import prices in North West Europe
