Analysts' Estimates For Tomorrow's EIA Weekly Storage Report

DJ Analysts See 58 Billion-Cubic Feet Add to U.S. Natural-Gas Inventories
  By Timothy Puko

  Analysts expect government data scheduled for release Thursday to show natural-gas inventories last week rose on par
with their five-year average increase for that time of the year.

  The U.S. Energy Information Administration is expected to report that storage levels grew by 58 billion cubic feet of
gas during the week ended Oct. 30, according to the average forecast of 17 analysts and traders surveyed by The Wall
Street Journal.

  The EIA is scheduled to release its storage data for the week on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. EST.

  For the Oct. 30 week, the median estimate is for an addition of 57 bcf. Estimates range from an addition of 52 bcf to
an addition of 69 bcf.

  The estimate for Oct. 30 compares to 90 bcf added to storage for the same week last year and the 58-bcf five-year
average addition for that week.

  If the storage estimate is correct, inventories as of Oct. 30 totaled 3.9 trillion cubic feet, 11% above levels from
a year ago and 4.1% above the five-year average for the same week.
