Ecco le previsioni di Ben.
this weeks storage poll is for week ending 9/21 and reported by EIA on 9/27.
observation:
shoulder season temperatures continue having little impact on demand.
last weeks weather came in cooler than the week earlier but remained warmer than average, cutting down on heating demand that starts increasing at this time.
wx normalized power burns remain strong as nuclear outages continue to run roughly 4,000 to 5,000 MW higher than normal.
exports to mexico remain roughly 5 bcf per week higher than last yr.
canadian imports remain strong, roughly 2 bcf per week higher than last yr.
U.S. supply increased over 5 bcf from the week prior to put total output back near pre-Isaac/peak summer demand highs.
limited pipeline capacities in the east indicates continued regional storage redistribution and strong injections in the east.
only minor pipeline maintenance limiting flows, but main scheduled maintenance will be in October.
this weeks injection is likely our largest of the fall season.
