# U.S. natgas futures ease to 7-week low as output rises after Hurricane Sally - Energy News, Top Headlines, Commentaries, Features & Events - EnergyNow.com

> U.S. natural gas futures dropped to a seven-week low as Gulf of Mexico producers returned wells shut by Hurricane Sally. Front-month futures were near $2.03 per MMBtu, down about 26% from the August 28 high, while U.S. LNG feedgas climbed to its highest level since April.
