This week’s net injections into working natural gas in the Lower 48 states totaled 123 Bcf, the earliest point ever in the refill season for triple-digits

(Thu, 02 May 2019) Net injections into working natural gas storage totaled 123 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending April 26, 2019. This week posted the second-largest net injection ever reported in the history of the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report. Net injections have reached triple-digits only 32 times since 2010, typically occurring in May or September. The net injection for the week ending April 26, 2019, was the earliest that EIA has reported a triple-digit increase during the injection season.

Increased natural gas production, interregional flows mitigate withdrawals from storage during winter 2018-19

(Mon, 29 Apr 2019) Working U.S. natural gas stocks entered the 2018–19 winter heating season below the five-year (2013-17) range in each of the storage regions in the Lower 48 states. However, increased U.S. natural gas production and interregional flows supplemented smaller-than-normal withdrawals from storage in most regions to supply winter heating demand for natural gas. Most of the U.S. working natural gas storage capacity is located in the three regions east of the Mountain region, and in that area, natural gas withdrawals followed this pattern.

U.S. natural gas inventories end withdrawal season at lowest level since spring 2014

(Fri, 19 Apr 2019) Working natural gas in storage in the Lower 48 states at the end of March totaled 1,137 billion cubic feet (Bcf) according to EIA’s <em>Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report</em>. As of March 31, the usual end of the natural gas withdrawal season, working natural gas inventories were 30% lower than the previous five-year average for that time of year. This end-of-season level was the lowest since 2014, when working natural gas inventories at the end of March 2014 totaled 837 Bcf.
