Analysts and traders expect government data scheduled for release Thursday to show a smaller-than-normal draw in gas inventories, as mild weather across the U.S. continues to curb demand for gas-fired heating.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration is expected to report 126 billion cubic feet of gas were drawn from storage during the week ended Jan. 27, according to the average prediction of 16 analysts and traders in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.
The EIA is scheduled to release its storage data Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EST.
The survey’s median result was for a draw of 127 billion cubic feet, with estimates ranging from a 111 bcf decline to a 135 bcf draw.
The storage estimate is less than last year’s 171-bcf draw in storage for the same week, and less than the 202-bcf five-year average draw for the week.
If the storage estimate is correct, inventories as of Jan. 27 will total 2.972 trillion cubic feet, about 26% above the five-year average and 25% above last year’s level for the same week.

Analysts and traders expect government data scheduled for release Thursday to show a smaller-than-average draw in natural-gas inventories as warm weather undercuts the peak heating season in key areas of the U.S.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration is expected to report that 88.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas were withdrawn from storage during the week ended Jan. 6, according to the average prediction of 18 analysts and traders in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.
The EIA is scheduled to release its storage data Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EST.
The survey’s median result was a draw of 88.5 billion cubic feet, with a high estimate of a 101-bcf draw and a low of a 72-bcf draw. The withdrawal estimate falls short of last year’s 137-bcf draw in storage for the same week and the 128-bcf five-year average draw for that week.
If the storage estimate is correct, inventories as of Jan. 6 will total 3.383 trillion cubic feet, about 17.2% above the five-year average and 13.6% higher than last year’s level for the same week.
Warmer-than-normal temperatures have driven withdrawals to come in below average throughout the autumn and winter. Though there was a cold snap last week, overall temperatures have continued to be above normal in most areas of the country, including the northeastern areas that are key markets for gas-fired heating demand.

The EIA is scheduled to release its storage data Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EST.

The survey’s median result was 105 billion cubic feet, with a high estimate of a 120-bcf draw and a low of a 98-bcf draw. The storage estimate falls short of last year’s 181-bcf draw in storage for the same week and the 140-bcf five-year average draw for that week.
If the storage estimate is correct, inventories as of Dec. 16 will total 3.623 trillion cubic feet, about 11.8% above the five-year average and 6.7% above last year’s level for the same week.
Warmer-than-normal temperatures have driven inventory draws to come in below average throughout autumn. That continued last week across the northern tier and eastern seaboard of the country. Those patterns are expected to continue into the new year.
