In recent months, the biggest factor affecting the gas market has been speculation on whether production, which is at record levels, would be enough to cut the vast storage deficit and boost stockpiles to near-normal levels before the winter.
Production in the lower 48 U.S. states averaged a record high 80.5 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) over the past 30 days. On a daily basis, output rose to 80.8 bcfd from a low of 80.2 bcfd earlier in the week. That compared with the all-time daily high of 81.4 bcfd hit on July 5, according to data.
Meteorologists forecast that temperatures, which have been higher than normal since the start of June, would remain above normal through at least late July, but not quite as high as previously expected. To escape the heat, consumers have cranked up their air conditioners, prompting power generators to burn more gas than usual so far this summer season.
