Oil to Natural Gas Ratio

Monday, March 29, 2010 at 04:14PM

The ratio of oil to natural gas has really spiked again in recent months as oil has outperformed natural gas. (When the line is rising in the chart below, oil is outperforming natural gas, and vice versa for a declining line.) Last September, the ratio of oil to natural gas hit its highest level since at least 1995. After that peak, natural gas outperformed oil for a few months, but this trend reversed quickly once 2010 started. The average ratio since 1995 is 8.94, and it is currently more than twice that at 21.49. But even though the ratio is extremely high compared to historical levels, it has gone higher as we saw just a few months ago.

The Oil/NGas ratio you present isn't useable because it uses spot prices. There have been extreme drops in NGas due to too little storage capacity. What would make sense would be to do the ratio based on future values, maybe five years out. I don't have the sources to do that so maybe you could help out. Thanks.

Just found your website. I would like to follow your progress and monitor results. I have particular interest in commodities, particularly, oil, natural gas, gold, silver, and uranium. I believe all of these will do well, even as the market tanks, and it will this year. As these commodities follow the market down, I just see it as a buying gift opportunity. I'm no genius, but I'm no fool either.
