A leading energy firm faced recurring settlement delays due to missing Gas Daily prices in low-liquidity Natural Gas hubs. In zones like Florida Gas Zone 1, the absence of trades often led Platts to withhold price publication for the day, disrupting standard valuation. This created uncertainty in price determination, impacting invoicing accuracy and delaying payments.

Without published index prices, counterparties had to initiate manual price discovery discussions, resulting in inconsistent settlement methods and extended reconciliation timelines. These inefficiencies highlighted the firm’s need for a streamlined approach to manage price gaps and improve operational continuity in volatile markets.
