For week ending September 25th, we are estimating a storage build of 83 Bcf. The range for this week was quite wide entering the weekend especially with the two past reports showing wide variation from analyst estimates. This storage build would take total storage levels to 3763 Bcf, or +478 vs. LY and +412 vs 5Yr average.

 

Our view of individual facility scrapes shows many of the facility getting near full. For week ending Sept 25, here are the weekly injections along with their current storage levels. As can be seen, most facilities are above 90% of peak recorded inventories already. There are two issues to note with that: 1) the obvious that there is limited space with 6-7 week’s of more injections left. 2) The majority of these facilities are not high deliverable facilities (typically reservoirs or aquifers) – hence the daily deliverability into storage is significantly reduced when you get to these high storage levels.
