EIA NG STORAGE REPORT | June 30, 2016

June 30, 2016

The EIA reported a +42 bcf injection for the week ending June 23, coming in line with our own number and below the Bloomberg median at +45 bcf. Unlike the accounting-driven pull in the Pacific, South Central posted a real withdrawal as a region, not just in salts.

That note did not set a date on when the system-wide inventory would be adjusted to re.....

EIA NG STORAGE REPORT | June 23, 2016

June 23, 2016

The EIA reported a +62 bcf injection for the week ending June 16, coming in line with our own number and the Bloomberg median at +60 bcf. Regionally, salt domes withdrew less than expected, but the non-salt build was smaller as well leading to a lower than expected overall injection for South Central. That would explain last week’s cash strength and implies another small injection or possible withdrawal for the current reference week given the strength in cash prices. Despite an increase in.....
