Starting from IGas Energy / European NGL Producers, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Equinor ASA →Prices riseEurope's record-low gas inventories are tightening the market and lifting natural-gas prices, which increases the cost exposure on Equinor's natural-gas input.
83% confidenceEquinor ASA →Prices riseNatural Gas (Haber-Bosch Feedstock and Fuel)
The larger 8% natural-gas dependency with a 12-month replacement time is more exposed to Europe-wide gas price increases from low inventories.
62% confidenceEquinor ASA →Prices riseRecord-low European gas inventories point to tighter natural gas markets and higher prices; this smaller 3% gas input with a 24-month replacement time should face some cost transmission.
Hop 2
Natural Gas →Prices riseSEMPRASRE
Sempra explicitly disclosed that higher natural-gas prices increased its natural-gas costs.
97% confidenceNatural Gas →Prices riseAMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO INCAEP
AEP burns large volumes of natural gas for power generation, so higher gas prices increase fuel costs.
93% confidenceNatural Gas →Prices riseHop 3
Industrial gases →Prices riseIndustrial gases critically depends on natural gas as an input, so Europe’s gas tightness transmits as higher input cost for this node.
89% confidenceEQT Corporation →Prices riseNatural GasEQT
Europe's low gas inventories tighten the natural-gas market, and this company-input edge indicates EQT faces higher natural-gas input costs through its gas dependence.
63% confidenceSEMPRA →Stands to benefitHop 4
Shell plc →Stands to benefitSempra (ECA Regas Facility)SRE
Record-low gas inventories and higher European gas prices should raise demand for regas/storage capacity, and Shell’s firm agreement covers 36% of this terminal’s capacity, making the facility a plausible beneficiary.
67% confidenceTotalEnergies SE →Stands to benefitTotalEnergies' affiliates are locked into 20-year full-capacity tolling agreements at Cameron LNG, so a tighter European gas market that lifts LNG demand/value would tend to favor Sempra's contracted facility revenue.
