　　US EIA to estimate gas storage withdrawal of 205 Bcf: survey

　　Denver (Platts)--21 Dec 2016

　　The US Energy Information Administration will estimate a 205-Bcf withdrawal to natural gas in underground storage for the reporting week that ended December 16, according to a consensus of analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts.

　　Estimates in the survey ranged for a draw of 194 Bcf to 215 Bcf.

　　The EIA plans to release its weekly storage report at 10:30 am EST (1530 GMT) Thursday.

　　A 205-Bcf pull would register over six times larger than the 33-Bcf draw reported at this time in 2015 and more than double the five-year average which is a 101-Bcf withdrawal, according to EIA data.
