尽管预计2014年冬季天气温和，但纽约和波士顿的天然气价格市场预期走高。天然气价格预期同比降低，但高于近年来的平均水平，尤其是波士顿。
波士顿：波士顿今冬天然气均价预计为13.7$/MMBtu，这比2013-14冬季低2.33$/MMBtu，但仍高于近年来的平均水平。天然气价格走高部分原因是到波士顿的运气管道没有增加任何新容量，同时来自加拿大东的天然气和波士顿Everett、新不伦瑞克Canaport的液化天然气终端不能满足新英格兰州的峰值需求。
纽约市：2014-15和2015-16冬季纽约天然气期货价格远比2013-14寒冬现货价格低很多，尽管过去两年几条管道扩容项目已经增加了运能，更多Marcellus天然气到达纽约市。
自2014年年初，东北部天然气管道运能增加了2Bcf/d，并且计划2014年年末新增0.4Bcf/d运能。相比前几年，更多的天然气管道项目在2012-2014年间竣工，这反映了东北部天然气基础设施建设扩大的需求，这是为了满足这一区域天然气产量增加的需要，尤其是宾夕法尼亚州、俄亥俄州和维吉尼亚州。
2014年主要的天然气管道项目包括：
德州东输气扩能项目：其在10月29日已经部分完成，此项目扩建了德州东部的循环和加压站，这能使西宾夕法尼亚州和西维吉尼亚到新泽西、纽约和俄亥俄州的天然气运能增加0.6Bcf/d。
西海岸扩能项目：其在2014年10月27日已经完成，此项目使哥伦比亚气站增加运能0.44Bcf/d，即来自宾夕法尼亚州Waynesburg、维吉尼亚州Smithfield的天然气送往肯塔基州的Leach，在那儿天然气通过哥伦比亚海湾管道进入墨西哥海岸地区。
塞内加横向反转项目：其在2014年6月18日完成，此项目可使落基山高速管道往西向俄亥俄州、印第安纳州和伊利诺伊州输送天然气0.25Bcf/d。

Boston, New York City winter natural gas prices expected toremain high
Despite expectations of a milderwinter for 2014, marketers anticipate high prices for natural gas in Boston andNew York City. Natural gas prices are expected to be lower than last winter,but higher than the average of previous winters, particularly in Boston.
Boston. Average forward prices in Bostonthis winter are expected to be $13.70 per million British thermal unit (MMBtu),which is $2.33/MMBtu lower than the winter of 2013-14 but much higher thanprevious winters. Higher natural gas prices are partly because the pipelineindustry has not added any new capacity to flow more Marcellus gas into Bostonand because production from eastern Canada and liquefied natural gas (LNG) fromthe Everett (Boston) and Canaport (New Brunswick) terminals are not high enoughto serve New England peak demand.
New York City. Forwardprices for New York City for the winters of 2014-15 and 2015-16 aresignificantly lower than the spot prices for the unusually cold winter of2013-14. The forward prices are still slightly higher than the spot prices forthe 2012-13 winter, even though several pipeline expansion projects within thepast two years have added new capacity to flow more natural gas from theMarcellus region into New York City.
Since the beginning of 2014, thepipeline industry has added 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of capacity inthe Northeast and plans to add another 0.4 Bcf/d by the end of 2014.Significantly more pipeline projects were completed between 2012 and 2014 thanin previous years, reflecting the need to expand the natural gas infrastructurein the Northeast to serve growing natural gas production in this region,particularly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Major pipeline projects in 2014include the following:
Texas Eastern Transmission's TEAM 2014 expansion was partially completed as of October 29. This project expands the Texas Eastern system with looping and new compressor stations, which enables the system to transport an additional 0.6 Bcf/d of natural gas from western Pennsylvania and West Virginia to market areas in New Jersey, New York, and Ohio.
The West Side Expansion Project (Smithfield III) was completed on October 27, 2014. This project enables Columbia Gas Transmission to flow 0.44 Bcf/d of gas from the Waynesburg, Pennsylvania and Smithfield, West Virginia areas to Leach, Kentucky, where the gas will be transported to the Gulf Coast on the Columbia Gulf Transmission pipeline.
The Seneca lateral reversal project was completed on June 18, 2014. This project enables the Rockies Express Pipeline to flow 0.25 Bcf/d of gas west to points in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
