Gas storage against the curve

Weekly US working gas against its five-year range, beside the benchmark winter-summer spread on EOX forward curves, with EOX's estimate for the coming week.

What it shows

Storage

  • Lower 48 working gas each week, from the weekly public government storage report
  • The five-year average, low and high for the same week
  • The surplus or deficit to the five-year average, in Bcf and percent
  • EOX's estimate of the coming week's inventory

The curve

  • The benchmark winter-summer spread on EOX's curve each week: the next winter less the summer before it
  • How the spread has moved with the storage surplus: correlation and the change per 100 Bcf over the weeks shown
  • Two, five or ten years

The storage data is public and shown to every client. The spread uses EOX natural gas forward curves and comes with a natural gas subscription.

Questions

How is the five-year range measured?
From the same week in each of the five years before, for the average, the low and the high.
Which spread is shown?
The next winter (November to March) less the summer before it (April to October) on the benchmark natural gas curve, simple averages of the month contracts, on the last curve date of each week.
Do I need a subscription for the storage data?
No. The storage data is public and free for every client; the spread comes with natural gas forward curves.

Included with your subscription. The tools use the curves, vols and correlations your subscription already covers, under the same entitlements, and are never charged for separately. Results are for information only; values shown on this page are illustrative.
