The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said utilities added a much smaller-than-expected 46 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas into storage during the warmer-than-usual week ended Sept.
However, utilities to add a bigger-than-normal 98 bcf into storage during the week through Sept. 28 as the weather cools and production keeps reaching record highs. That cooler weather is expected to eliminate most air-conditioning demand but will likely not be cold enough to produce much heating demand.

Production in the Lower 48 U.S. states averaged a record high 83.9 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) over the past 30 days. On a daily basis, output rose to an all-time high of 85.2 bcfd on Monday.
