NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Natural-gas futures fell to fresh two-and-a-half year lows early Friday, as traders continued to react to government data showing a triple-digit increase in supplies of the fuel in the latest week, the biggest rise in more than a year.
Crude was flat after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut its 2006 crude-oil demand forecast to an average of 28.9 million barrels a day, down 200,000 barrels a day from last month. The cartel said it expects demand expected to average 28.1 million barrels a day in 2007, which is expected to be 800,000 million barrels a day below 2006.
Natural gas for October delivery was last trading down15.2 cents, or 3.1%, at $4.74 per million British thermal units in electronic trade. The contract lost 9.6% of its value on Thursday, after the Energy Department said inventories rose a bigger-than-expected 108 billion cubic feet in the week ended Sept. 8, placing them a good 341 billion cubic feet above the five-year average.
Crude was last up 1 cent at $63.23 a barrel. The contract closed lower Thursday in a continued response to data showing a climb in petroleum-product supplies in the latest week.
"It's hard to see what it will take to stem the selling in the energy markets," said Edward Meir, analyst at Man Financial. "Certainly, there has not been anything that alarming on the fundamental side to give prices a boost."
The Iranian nuclear dispute is losing its ability to rattle the market, "as the whole matter now seems to be relegated to an endless round of talks -- and even more maddeningly, talks about talks," said Meir.
Iraq remains a worry, however, even if the daily round of suicide bombings and attacks appear to have had little impact on oil production, he said.
Meanwhile, the strike by oil workers in Nigeria, the world's eighth-largest oil producer, "barely caused a ripple and was over almost as fast as it started," he said.
In the latest news related to Iran, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has severely criticized a U.S. report on Iran's nuclear activities, describing it as "erroneous" and "misleading," according to news reports.
The IAEA said the report distorts the agency's findings from their on-site inspections and rebuffed the U.S. claim that Tehran has enriched uranium to weapons-grade capability.
A Western diplomat said it's "deja-vu of the pre-Iraq war period," the BBC reported, referring to the clash between the U.S. and IAEA over the former's claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
In other news from the Middle East, the Yemeni government said it has foiled an attempt by suicide bombers to blow up oil installations using cars, according to news reports. That news comes just days after al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called for attacks on oil facilities in the Gulf.
Gasoline futures were last up 1 cent at $1.5625 a gallon and heating oil was up 0.7 cent at $1.7182 a gallon.

carefull
they may be using shares for the LOI(cash plus stock)
you might be disturbing a hornets nest?
is it our
beloved Moderator?
ok who are the insiders posting here?
Thats ok , we will see them behind bars soon.
stay tooned
more to come by the end of Sept
so they have a shared
main number and secretary as part of the building rent?
The bearish (natgas) number basically just piled on to the bearish news throughout the energy complex, following up on the huge distillate build report in yesterday's oil stats," said Katherine Spector of J.P. Morgan.
Natural gas prices fell below $5 per million British thermal units for the first time in two years.
Oil drillers and the companies that cater to the exploration and production side of the industry are especially vulnerable to lower energy prices, which quickly erode producers' capital spending plans.
But refiners were also among those hard-hit Thursday as lower prices compress margins. Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) led the fall in the oil group, down 3.5% to $50.58, and Sunoco Inc. (SUN) dropped 3% to $62.38.
Of the major integrated oil companies, Chevron Corp. (CVX) best managed to limit the damage, down just 0.5% to $62.05 a share. Giant Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) fall 1% to $64.71.
October natural gas futures plunged nearly 10% to $4.89 per million British thermal units, its lowest level since February 2004, after the Energy Information Administration reported U.S. gas supplies rose 108 billion cubic feet last week.
Gas supplies are now a bearish 341 billion cubic feet more than the five-year average, with production far outpacing what industry analyst called robust demand.
interesting
We need well
3 and 4 info for reassuance they are moving in the right direction with revenues. I am holding off buying more
until I see progress, even if I have to buy a 4 cents.
The penny stock Queen?
everyone is getting
nervous? At this point if we have a failed LOI we may hit
subpenny levels and stay there for a long time? Are they delaying the PR knowingly the common stock is cooked?
On the other side thier could be other LOI's down the road?
If it was not for the positive
postings on this site and the ones still loading up here
it would be alot lower.
both of them
pertaining to the flow rates for completed wells 3 and 4.
I had two unanswered emails this week
FYI
while it is rising
it would be smarter to add to a sure thing rather than a crapshoot.
you are better off paying 4 cents on the positive PR
Do you think
we will see lots of short sellers come out on the day the PR
hits to hold this down for a day or two?
And I suppose they
spill thier guts to you and reassure you that all is well
and explain to you in great detail about every little transaction that happens.
unless your a insider at BIGN?
NOT
Thats what I am doing, I will not add any more shares until
something real happens.
one of the smartest investment Philosophies

BIGN management needs to be effective , efficiant in order to pull this off.
just getting nervous
used a small part of a retirement fund for this stock.
just goes to show you the connfidence I have in it.
Do they have anything to update?
I have a bad feeling
a new 52 week low is coming? They will not answer any emails
or call back?

Natural gas at two-year low
Elsewhere in energy trading, the October contract for natural-gas futures moved lower, trading at its lowest levels in more than two years on the heels of a three-session pullback last week.
October natural gas fell 13.5 cents to stand lately at $5.54 per million British thermal units following a decline to $5.44 -- the lowest intraday level the contract has seen since July 7, 2004.
"If supportive news in the form of a tropical storm threat or cold winter forecast doesn't emerge soon, prices will probably continue lower," said Michael Fitzpatrick, an analyst at Fimat USA

Three women die together in an accident
and go to heaven.
When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.
Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"
The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin
St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

Al-Gebra Movement
At New York's Kennedy airport today an individual, later discovered to be a Public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. The FBI is charging him with carrying weapons of math instruction.
"Al-Gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.
"As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes!
"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."
President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."
Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."
