The EIA reported a +73 bcf injection for the week ending April 21, coming in higher than our own number at +68 bcf and the Bloomberg median at +70 bcf. Regionally the East and South Central salt domes injected more than expected. Warmer than normal weather pushed the East to a net injection, but wide front spreads are probably still responsible for the very strong salt dome injections. A +10 bcf injection for salt domes is higher than the 5-yr average of +8 bcf and is especially impressive.....

The EIA reported a +7 bcf injection for the week ending April 14, coming in-line with our own number at +6 bcf, but higher than the Bloomberg median at +3 bcf. Regionally the East draw was stronger than expected, while the Midwest experienced no change in inventory levels compared to expectations for a draw. Salt-domes also injected more than expected and that is putting pressure on front spreads given the already high salt-dome inventory level of 342 bcf. Colder than normal weather through.....

The EIA reported a -3 bcf withdrawal for the week ending April 7, coming in tighter than our own number at +4 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at +3 bcf. The stronger than expected withdrawal in the East explains most of the difference to our expectations and could be a result of the much colder than normal weather in the region. While our scrape sample could not justify such a large withdrawal in the East, the weather-driven supply and demand models underestimated the draw as well. Last week.....

The EIA reported a +12 bcf injection for the week ending March 31, coming in slightly above our own number at +8 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at +8 bcf. Reported South Central injection was significantly higher than our estimates, while East and Midwest withdrawals came in stronger than our models suggested. There will be no commentary today. Please note our extended U.S. and Canada tables covering the injection season are included in the attachment.

The EIA reported a -25 bcf withdrawal for the week ending March 24, coming in line with our own number at -25 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at -25 bcf. Regional draws and builds came in line with expectations as well, implying relatively normal operational conditions compared to the elevated volatility of the recent few weeks as inventory surplus reached record levels. After five weeks of steady inventory increases, this was also the first week during which the year-on-year inventory surpl.....

The EIA reported a +15 bcf injection for the week ending March 17, coming lower than our own number at +22 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at +21 bcf. The surprise draw of -6 bcf leaves the Midwest as the only region still in the withdrawal season. However, despite the early end to the withdrawal season this year, the +15 bcf build implies a considerable week-on-week tightening of the supply and demand balances We did see a significant decline in production combined with lower net imports fr.....

The EIA reported a -1 bcf withdrawal for the week ending March 10, coming weaker than our own number at -9 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at -4 bcf. As we transition into shoulder season, some fields have started injecting, while others are still withdrawing at a significant pace. The big interstate systems are still withdrawing and it seems that they skewed our flow model towards a stronger withdrawal. Nonetheless, the -1 bcf draw reported by the EIA implies a tighter balance compared to las.....

The EIA reported a -57 bcf withdrawal for the week ending March 3, coming in-line with our own number at -58 bcf, and weaker than the Bloomberg median at -60 bcf. The nationwide withdrawal was quite close to expectations, especially compared to the previous two numbers, but regionally the Midwest draw was very tight on a weather adjusted basis as the South Central injected. Either the Midwest or the South Central seem to always be involved in the weekly “surprise” discussion and their inte.....

The EIA reported a -48 bcf withdrawal for the week ending February 25, coming in significantly stronger than our own number at -31 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at -39 bcf. This is a complete reversal of last week’s implied supply and demand balance and in line with the week ending February 11, when the EIA reported a -163 bcf withdrawal. Regionally the South Central has a stronger withdrawal than expected, but the Midwest was the biggest outlier coming in with an additional 10 bcf draw comp.....

The EIA reported a -117 bcf withdrawal for the week ending February 18, coming in significantly weaker than our own number at -132 bcf, and the Bloomberg median at -136 bcf. This implies a material loosening of the weather-adjusted supply and demand balances following last week’s strong withdrawal. Regionally, South Central was responsible for all of the miss compared to our expectations. South Central was also responsible for almost the entire difference compared to the previous week’s withdr.....
