EIA NG STORAGE REPORT | April 10, 2020
April 9, 2020
Dear , The EIA reported a +38 bcf injection into inventory for the reference week, 1 bcf lower than our call of +39 bcf and 9 bcf higher than the Bloomberg median of +29 bcf. A loaf of bread has more energy than a stick of dynamite (5.8 MJ vs. 2.1 MJ), even more than a kilogram of TNT (4.2 MJ), which can obliterate a small vehicle. The main differentiating factor in their deployment is how fast that energy is released (power). The longer it takes to release energy, the less damaging they are t.....

Dear , The EIA reported a -48 bcf withdrawal from inventories this week, 10 bcf lower than our call of -58 bcf and 7 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. Over the past few days, we received multiple client inquiries about the impact of lower oil prices on natural gas balances. More specifically, we were asked to quantify potential losses in associated gas volumes as a result of lower oil prices...

Dear , The EIA reported a -109 bcf withdrawal from inventories this week, 7 bcf lower than our call of -116 bcf and 1 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. The COVID-19 outbreak may have lowered state-side industrial demand in recent weeks as a knock-on effect of reduced activity in Asian destination markets. The reduction in Asian market activity is well-illustrated through satellite imagery in a video published by the New York Times. Our models are currently showing withdrawals of: -55, -17, -1.....

Dear , The EIA reported a -143 bcf withdrawal from inventories this week, 15 bcf lower than our call of -158 bcf and 15 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. Friday, February 14th was a very cold day in the Midwest, setting the highest demand day of the year across the footprint. The resulting sharp increase in space heating demand likely meant that molecules destined for gas-fired power plants were displaced. As a result, with limited gas-fired electric generation capacity available for dispat.....

Dear , The EIA reported a -151 bcf withdrawal from inventories this week, 2 bcf higher than our call of -149 bcf and 6 bcf higher than the Bloomberg median. Our models are currently showing withdrawals of: -147, -126,-156, -93bcf over the next four weeks for a total of -523bcf, compared to a -595 bcf for the same period last year and the five-year average draw of -403bcf.

Dear , The EIA reported a -115 bcf withdrawal from inventories this week, 1 bcf higher than our call of -114 bcf and 4 bcf higher than the Bloomberg median. Our previous week’s commentary highlighted new petrochemical demand coming online as a potential driver behind stronger than expected withdrawals in the region. Stronger petrochemical and plastics volumes reported in railroad earnings calls supported that hypothesis.
