First impact
Natural gas wellhead production →Stands to benefitThe discovery is in Iran, so it directly expands Iran's prospective gas production base and makes the country a likely beneficiary, though development is still future-oriented.
85% confidenceHelium-rich natural gas feedstock →supply upA larger helium-rich gas feedstock supply should directly increase medical helium availability because this good depends on the input very heavily (0.95).
80% confidenceNatural gas wellhead production →supply upThis critical input edge means more wellhead production translates into more natural gas availability for households, even if the new Iranian supply takes time to develop.
Hop 2
Iran →supply upNatural gas wellhead production
A huge new gas discovery in Iran is a direct signal of higher future wellhead gas output, increasing supply of this input.
72% confidenceIran →supply upNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane)
Additional Iranian gas production can expand the amount of processed pipeline-grade natural gas available from the country.
66% confidenceIran →supply upNatural Gas (Ammonia/Fertilizer Feedstock Grade)
If Iranian gas supply rises, more feedstock-grade natural gas should be available for ammonia and fertilizer production uses.
Hop 3
Natural Gas (Ammonia/Fertilizer Feedstock Grade) →supply upFeedstock-grade natural gas is a critical input to fertilizers and crop inputs, so more gas supply should directly increase availability of that downstream good.
90% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane) →Stands to benefitIran is the direct locus of the new gas discovery and already accounts for a listed share of this gas supply, so the discovery should benefit the country’s production outlook.
83% confidenceNatural Gas (Ammonia/Fertilizer Feedstock Grade) →supply upHop 4
Electricity (residential) →supply upNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane)
Residential electricity has a critical 0.9 dependence on pipeline-grade natural gas, so a new Iranian gas discovery would ease fuel scarcity and make this input more available.
88% confidenceCF Industries Holdings →supply upNatural Gas (Haber-Bosch Feedstock and Fuel)
CF Industries relies on natural gas as Haber-Bosch feedstock and fuel, so a major Iranian gas discovery should improve gas availability and ease costs for this key input.
71% confidenceYara International →supply up
