Bloomberg reports that OPEC's promised oil output cuts are lifting crude futures, which encourages more oil drilling. That drilling also produces associated gas, which could add to a U.S. gas supply glut that has already reached a record.
Higher oil output from associated gas could weigh on Henry Hub prices, while the OPEC deal supports crude and energy-linked costs for feed producers.
