(Thu, 11 Jul 2019) Working natural gas stocks in the Lower 48 states totaled 2,471 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending July 5, 2019, 142 Bcf lower than the previous five-year average, according to the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR) released this week.
(Tue, 02 Jul 2019) During the first 12 weeks of the 2019 summer refill season, which traditionally ranges from April 1 to October 31, net injections of working natural gas into underground storage fields in the Lower 48 states have set a record pace. Weekly net injections for the weeks ending April 5 through June 21, 2019 have totaled 1,171 billion cubic feet (Bcf), averaging about 98 Bcf per week. Cumulative net injections have exceeded the five-year average by 41%, reducing the current five-year average deficit by 314 Bcf.

(Mon, 24 Jun 2019) EIA adjusted its New England nuclear regional utilization rate on June 13, 2019, to account for the permanent closure of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim) on May 31, 2019. New England has two remaining operating nuclear power plantsâthe Seabrook Station nuclear power plant in New Hampshire (summer-rated plant capacity of 1,251.4 megawatts) and the Millstone Nuclear Power Station in Connecticut (summer-rated plant capacity of 2,073.1 megawatts).
(Thu, 13 Jun 2019) On May 31, 2019, Entergy Nuclear Generation Company (Entergy), a business unit of Entergy Corporation, permanently closed its 679 (summer-weighted) megawatt (MW) Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim) located along the shores of Cape Cod Bay. In October 2015, Entergy announced that Pilgrim was retiring because of the relative cost of operating the plant compared with the level of wholesale power prices in New England. Pilgrim started commercial operations in 1972, and it was the tenth-oldest nuclear plant in the United States at the time of its closing.
(Fri, 07 Jun 2019) Angola is the second-largest oil producer in Africa, following Nigeria. Angola's economy depends heavily on hydrocarbon production, making its economy vulnerable to crude oil price swings.
(Mon, 03 Jun 2019) In the United States, working natural gas in storage in the Lower 48 states totaled 1,867 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 257 Bcf less than the five-year average for the week ending May 24, 2019. This level is the smallest deficit to the preceding five-year average since December 29, 2017, when it totaled 192 Bcf. In 2019, the working natural gas deficit to the five-year average was largest when it was 565 Bcf for the week ending March 8.
(Wed, 29 May 2019) This spreadsheet contains detailed information on liquids (crude oil, petroleum products, and hydrocarbon gas liquids) pipeline projects that are completed (since 2010), under construction, or announced. The data are not collected on an EIA survey, but rather the data are compiled from various sources including trade press, pipeline company websites, and government agencies. These data are not a forecast and represent last-known public information on projects. This spreadsheet will be updated twice a year.
(Thu, 02 May 2019) Net injections into working natural gas storage totaled 123 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending April 26, 2019. This week posted the second-largest net injection ever reported in the history of the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report. Net injections have reached triple-digits only 32 times since 2010, typically occurring in May or September. The net injection for the week ending April 26, 2019, was the earliest that EIA has reported a triple-digit increase during the injection season.
(Mon, 29 Apr 2019) Working U.S. natural gas stocks entered the 2018â19 winter heating season below the five-year (2013-17) range in each of the storage regions in the Lower 48 states. However, increased U.S. natural gas production and interregional flows supplemented smaller-than-normal withdrawals from storage in most regions to supply winter heating demand for natural gas. Most of the U.S. working natural gas storage capacity is located in the three regions east of the Mountain region, and in that area, natural gas withdrawals followed this pattern.
