US natural gas utilities pulled the second-largest amount from storage on record over the winter, leaving stockpiles about 20% below normal at the end of the heating season on March 31. Companies will need to inject 16% more gas than usual this summer to restore normal inventory levels before next winter.
A large storage deficit requires strong summer injections, which could support Henry Hub prices above the current roughly $2.70 level. Higher gas prices would also shift power generation away from coal and affect feed-ingredient and energy costs.
