• Natural Gas Storage Estimates
  Underground stocks finished the last full...

  Underground stocks finished the last full week of July at 3,249 Bcf, or 16% above the five-year average, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). There are 14 more weekly government storage reports left for this injection season, including Thursday’s EIA report, for which NGI has modeled a 30 Bcf build.

  
  

  “On the bull side, you can see that injections have been lean,” veteran gas analyst Thomas Saal said. Market jitters usually appear when inventory scenarios approach the 4,000 Bcf level. “At the rate we're going now, if we put 20 Bcf to 30 Bcf in weekly for the rest of the season, we're not going to have to worry about it.”

  
  

  The EIA Natural Gas Storage Dashboard has additional updates on storage market conditions.
