Natural Gas May Start Winter With Below-Normal Stockpiles -- Market Talk
1212 ET - After today's slightly-above-average weekly natural gas injection to storage, the late-October end of injection season is 12 weeks away, and it looks like inventories will finish bullishly below normal heading into winter. The EIA said Tuesday it expects storage to begin the winter withdrawal season at 3.592 tcf, or 4% below the five-year average. The University of Tulsa's Tom Seng says that would take a weekly average injection of 68 billion cubic feet. "I think we will end-up somewhere between this [EIA] forecast and 3.7 tcf which would be an average of 80 bcf per week," he says. (dan.molinski@wsj.com)
美國東部時間1212分——在今天的每週天然氣儲量略高於平均水平之後，距離10月下旬的注入季節還有12周的時間，看來進入冬季，庫存將大幅低於正常水平。環境影響評估週二表示，預計冬季撤離季節開始時的儲量將爲3.592 萬立方英尺，比五年平均水平低4％。塔爾薩大學的湯姆·森說，這將平均每週注入680億立方英尺。他說：“我認爲我們最終將介於 [環境影響評估] 預測和3.7 tcf之間，即平均每週800億立方英尺。”(dan.molinski@wsj.com)
