Natural Gas Supply & Demand Data

Natural gas supply & demand data is released by the EIA on itsWeekly Update Page at around 2 pm EDT each Thursday following the release of the Weekly Storage Report at 10:30 AM EDT. Data represents average daily value over the course of the storage week.

While all elements of supply and demand are plotted here, those that are independent of temperature should be studied most closely. Under the assumption that, eventually, temperature will mean-revert and is only responsible for short-term deviations from baseline demand, it is the temperature-independent variables that truly drive supply/demand balance over months to years. These include domestic production, LNG imports and exports, Canadian imports, and Mexican export. I attempt to adjust temperature-dependent variables including res/com demand and powerburn based on a 10-week weighted average normalized to mean temperatures, which is reflected in the figures to the right.

Temperature-Adjusted Supply/Demand Balance Versus The 5-Year Average*
Answers the question: If temperatures were normal for an extended period of time--if Mother Nature was taken out of the equation--would natural gas storage injections or withdrawals be bullish (tight) or bearish (loose) versus the 5-year average?



Temperature-Adjusted Supply/Demand Balance Versus One Year Ago*
