EIA NG STORAGE REPORT | September 19, 2019
September 19, 2019
The EIA reported an +84 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was +8 bcf higher than both our forecast and the Bloomberg median. Our two largest regional misses this week were in the East, which came as a surprise and South Central non-salts which were less surprising given our summer track record. Our early forecast for next week’s number is an injection in the mid-80 bcf range. Pipeline constraints in the Northeast likely contributed to our miss this week…

Please note our extended U.S. and Canada tables covering the injection season are included in the attachment. The EIA reported a +78 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was -5 bcf lower than our forecast and -3 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. Most of our miss was once again in the South Central non-salt number. Our early forecast for next week’s number is an injection in the high-70 bcf range. At this point we run the risk of sounding like a broken record by attributing.....

September 5, 2019
The EIA reported a +84 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was +7 bcf higher than both our forecast and the Bloomberg median. Our largest misses this week were in the Midwest and South Central, though the magnitude of the error in the South Central is unclear due to differences between the total reported South Central number and the salt/non-salt split. Our early forecast for next week’s number is an injection in the mid-80 bcf range. The large swing in power burns this week m.....

The EIA reported a +60 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was +2 bcf higher than our forecast and +3 bcf higher than the Bloomberg median. The only miss in our regional breakdown this week was in the Midwest where we underestimated injections. Our early forecast for next week’s number is an injection in the high 70 bcf range. Growing Northeast production and fluctuating regional power burns have not only led to swingy intraregional injections but have also resulted in volatil.....

August 22, 2019
The EIA reported a +59 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was -3 bcf lower than our forecast and in line with the the Bloomberg median. Our overestimate of South Central non-salt injections this week was partially offset by higher than projected builds in the East and Midwest. Our early forecast for next week’s number is an injection near the mid-50 bcf mark. In last week’s report we determined our recent non-salt misses were correlated to shifts in South Central power demand.....

August 15, 2019
The EIA reported a +49 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was -8 bcf lower than our estimate and -10 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. For the second week in a row our overestimate in South Central non-salts proved to be our undoing. Our early estimate for next week’s number is an injection near the high 50 bcf mark. On Tuesday, we expected the South Central would be the linchpin in this week’s forecast, we assumed the Sabine Pass outage would partially mitigate both stron.....

August 8, 2019
Please note our extended U.S. and Canada tables covering the injection season are included in the attachment. The EIA reported a +55 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was -6 bcf lower than our estimate and -5 bcf lower than the Bloomberg median. Once again South Central non-salts were our undoing, coming in 5 bcf below our estimate. Our early estimate for next week’s number is an injection around the low 50 bcf mark. In Tuesday’s report we highlighted our uncertainty regar.....

August 1, 2019
The EIA reported a +65 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was +10 bcf higher than our estimate and +8 bcf higher than the Bloomberg median. Our large miss this week was almost entirely in the South Central region with salts drawing 6 bcf less than we expected and non-salts injecting 3 bcf more than we expected. Our early estimate for next week’s number is an injection around the mid-60 bcf mark. After a two week reprieve, non-salts returned to builds in excess of 5-year highs.....

July 25, 2019
The EIA reported a +36 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was in line with both our estimate and the Bloomberg median. Regionally, our largest misses were in the South Central and Midwest again. Overestimates of net South Central draws fortunately offset overestimates for Midwest builds. Our early estimate for next week’s number is an injection close to the 50 bcf mark. At the start of the summer, low inventories in California storage pools and ongoing constraints at the Topo.....

July 18, 2019
The EIA reported a +62 bcf increase in inventories this week. The build was 3 bcf lower than our estimate and 7 bcf below the Bloomberg median. Regionally, our largest misses were in the South Central and Midwest, as we underestimated pulls from South Central salts while also underestimating builds in the Midwest. Coming in 2 bcf below the 5-year average, this week’s injection broke a 15 week streak of builds coming in above the 5-year average. Our early estimate for next week’s number is an.....
