Net injections in EIA’s salt storage region match record, drive near-record injections in South Central region

(Thu, 31 Oct 2019) Net injections into working gas storage in the South Central region totaled 44 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending October 25, 2019. Net injections into salt dome working gas storage facilities totaled 25 Bcf for the week, matching the previous record for the week ending October 14, 2016. This week’s combined salt and non-salt implied net flows into working gas in the South Central region is tied for the fifth largest weekly net injection on record in the history of the five-region weekly working gas estimates, dating to 2010.

Cumulative net injections exceed the five-year average in all regions of the Lower 48 states during the 2019 refill season

(Fri, 25 Oct 2019) Working gas stocks climbed higher than the five-year average for the first time since the fall of 2017 as a result of near-record injections into working gas stocks during the 2019 refill season (typically April through November). The deficit to the five-year average reached 565 billion cubic feet (Bcf)—its highest level during 2019—during the week ending March 8. The deficit fell somewhat during the weeks leading up to the 2019 refill season.

Working gas stocks top five-year average for the first time in two years

(Thu, 17 Oct 2019) Working natural gas stocks in the Lower 48 states totaled 3,519 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending October 11, 2019, 14 Bcf more than the previous five-year average, according to the <em>Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report</em> (WNGSR) released this week. Last week was the first time that Lower 48 states’ working gas stocks exceeded the five-year average since September 22, 2017. This deficit to the five-year average has been shrinking since mid-March, when it reached 556 Bcf.

Working natural gas storage capacity utilization reaches 80% or more in EIA’s three largest regions

(Fri, 04 Oct 2019) Weekly estimates of natural gas storage capacity utilization published on October 3, 2019, show the United States is at least 80% full in the three regions with the most working gas capacity—East, Midwest, and South Central non-salt, according to the latest EIA Natural Gas Storage Dashboard. These three regions accounted for more than 70% of the total working natural gas capacity in the Lower 48 states in 2018.
