MUMBAI – Natural gas inventories in the US fell by 166 billion cubic feet in the week ended Dec. 19, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration. The inventory was nearly 1% lower than the five-year average for this time of the year, the agency said in its weekly report. The release of the report was delayed due to the Christmas holidays, the agency said.
The total working gas in underground storage was 3.41 trillion cubic feet as of Dec. 19. The stocks were 24 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 3.44 trillion cubic feet, according to the report.
Total working gas remained within the five-year historical range. All regions — which include the east, midwest, mountain, Pacific, south central, which includes salt and non-salt regions — saw a fall in inventories. At 1156 IST, the most-active January contract of natural gas on the New York Mercantile Exchange was at $3.948 per million British thermal units, down nearly 1% from the previous close. End
