Comparatively, last year’s injection was 32 Bcf and the five-year average of net injections is 46 Bcf. Current storage totals 2,579 Bcf which is 12.0% below the five-year average but still within the five-year historical range. This week we’ll look at fundamentals and market movement across the report week. --- ### Natural Gas Weekly Fundamentals Demand Total demand fell by only 0.2 Bcf/d from last week. LNG export ships increased by two, totaling 21 on the week for an overall capacity of 79 Bcf, up 9 Bcf from last week. Production Production remained the same week-over-week at 97.0 Bcf/d. The natural gas rig count lost one over last week, totaling 159 rigs. Oil-directed rigs kept steady at 601 rigs. Storage Forecast The average rate of injections into storage is 6% lower than the five-year average at this point in refill season (which traditionally runs April through October). If the injection rate matches the five-year average of 9.8 Bcf/d through October 31, natural gas supply will total 3,292 Bcf, 353 Bcf lower than the five-year average of 3,645 Bcf.   ---   ### Natural Gas Weekly Market Report - August 25, 2022 ##### September NYMEX ![Prompt month graph for natural gas August 25 2022 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8.25%20Sep.png?width=733&name=8.25%20Sep.png) ![May NYMEX graph for natural gas April 7 2022 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/4_7-May.png?width=902&height=541&name=4_7-May.png) September settled Thursday at $9.375/Dth up 4.5 cents from Wednesday’s close at $9.330/Dth but up 18.7 cents from last week. ##### 12 Month Strip ![12 Month Strip graph for natural gas August 25 2022 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8.25%2012M.png?width=732&name=8.25%2012M.png) ![12 month strip graph for natural gas April 7 2022 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/4_7-12M.png?width=902&height=542&name=4_7-12M.png) Settled Thursday at $7.725/Dth, up 18.0 cents from the prior week.   ##### Seasonal Strips ![seasonal strip graph for natural gas August 25 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8.25%20Seas.png?width=730&name=8.25%20Seas.png) ![seasonal strip graph for natural gas April 7 2022 report](https://natural-gas-weekly.aes-energ.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/4_7-Seasonal.png?width=902&height=542&name=4_7-Seasonal.png) The balance of the summer strip settled at $9.360/Dth, up 18.1 cents from the prior week.
