Natural Gas Swap

Financial derivative that settles against natural gas price benchmarks without requiring physical gas delivery.

A natural gas swap is a derivative contract exchanging a fixed price for a floating gas price over a defined period. It allows participants to hedge price risk.

In energy portfolios, gas swaps are often traded alongside oil derivatives due to fuel substitution and power generation dynamics. Price correlations matter.

Natural gas swaps are settled financially, without physical delivery. Settlement references published benchmarks.

They are essential tools for producers, utilities, and traders managing exposure to gas price volatility.
