Significant demand for natural gas in mid-February led to the second-largest reported withdrawal of natural gas from storage in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR).

A record amount of natural gas, 156 Bcf, was withdrawn during that week in the South Central region, which includes Texas.
