摘要

US natural gas storage fields added 52 Bcf of working gas for the weekended Sept. 3, according to an Energy Information Administrationreport released Sept. 9. The addition was much more than the marketexpected for the week, however, the report failed to quell the rally atHenry Hub as futures sustained highs not seen since 2008.The addition was well above the 33 Bcf expected by an S&P GlobalPlatts’ survey of analysts and was completely outside the wide rangeof estimates that spanned from 24 to 48 Bcf. However, it still trailedthe five-year average injection by 13 Bcf.
