-85 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -85 bcf storage withdrawal for the week ending February 25, in line with the Bloomberg median of -85 bcf but much smaller than the five-year average draw of -131 bcf and the year-ago draw of -124 bcf. This draw makes balances appear just slightly looser on both a year-ago and week-ago basis. However, the holiday effect, increased power generation from other sources, and the first net injection of the season in the producing region all contributed .....

-81 bcf
EIA NG STORAGE REPORT The EIA reported a -81 bcf storage withdrawal for the week ending February 18, just slightly smaller than the Bloomberg median estimate of -83 bcf but much smaller than the five-year average draw of -148 bcf and the year-ago draw of -174 bcf.

The EIA reported a -209 bcf storage withdrawal for the week ending February 4, a larger withdrawal than the Bloomberg median estimate of -197 bcf, the five-year average draw of -159 bcf, and the year-ago draw of -180 bcf. This week’s withdrawal indicates that balances are much tighter on both a year-ago basis and compared to prior weeks during this heating season. This is (at least partly) due to the historically cold weather that struck Texas and the Southwest US last week, leading to well .....
