Analysts Expect 76 Billion-Cubic-Foot Build in U.S. Natural Gas Inventories

Dow Jones05-07

By Anthony Harrup

U.S. natural gas inventories likely saw an average-sized increase last week with some late-season heating demand offset by slow early-season cooling demand, according to a survey by The Wall Street Journal.

Natural gas stored in underground facilities is expected to have increased by 76 billion cubic feet to 2,218 Bcf in the week ended May 1, according to the average estimate of 11 analysts, brokers and traders. Estimates range from an injection of 67 Bcf to an injection of 87 Bcf.

The expected storage build is similar to the five-year average for the week of 77 Bcf, and would leave the inventory surplus over the 2021-2025 average practically unchanged at 152 Bcf.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration is scheduled to release the weekly inventory data on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EDT.
