While Henry Hub prices are not directly linked to crude price, with the oil/gas price ratio ($ per bbl WTI/$ per mcf Henry Hub) of around 17x at the end of September which is well outside the long-term ratio of 6-9x, they are circumscribed by the prices of heating oil and coal prices.
8But no one really understands these differentials well enough in India
