US natural-gas storage rises by 61 billion cubic feet
Inventories remain above their five-year average but below year-earlier levels.
US working natural-gas inventories rose by 61 billion cubic feet in the week ended November 6, bringing total storage to 3,862 billion cubic feet, the Energy Information Administration said Friday.
Stocks were 92 billion cubic feet below the same time last year but 75 billion cubic feet above the five-year average of 3,787 billion. Total working gas remained within its five-year historical range.
The weekly storage report measures the amount of gas held in underground facilities. The increase describes a net inventory build, not a change in natural-gas prices.
