(Mon, 29 Apr 2019) Working U.S. natural gas stocks entered the 2018â19 winter heating season below the five-year (2013-17) range in each of the storage regions in the Lower 48 states. However, increased U.S. natural gas production and interregional flows supplemented smaller-than-normal withdrawals from storage in most regions to supply winter heating demand for natural gas. Most of the U.S. working natural gas storage capacity is located in the three regions east of the Mountain region, and in that area, natural gas withdrawals followed this pattern.
