Natural gas inventories in the United States are projected to be below average when the country begins to need heat for winter, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The EIA’s weekly report on natural gas storage, released Aug. 12, shows that the United States currently has over 2.7 trillion cubic feet of working gas in underground storage across the lower 48 states. That’s 16.5 percent less than the 3.3 trillion cubic feet of gas at the same time last year.
