Arbitrage in LIQUIFIED Natural Gas December 2012 Take a look at the long-term charts of crude oil and natural gas. The historical oil-to-gas price ratios have ranged from 6:1 to 10:1 before the economic crisis. Since one barrel of oil contains the energy equivalent of the 5.825 million BTU of natural gas‚ an implied BTU arbitrage kept this relationship in check. Spot natural gas traded as low 1.905 earlier in the week implying an energy equivalent price of a barrel
