Notes: Gas in storage at the end of a reporting period may not equal the
quantity derived by addingor subtracting net injections or withdrawls
during the period to the quantity of gas in storage at the begining of
the period. This is due to changes in the quantities of native gas
inculded in base gas and/or losses in basegas due to migration
fromstorage reservoirs. Totals may not equal sum of components because
of independent rounding. Georgaphic coverage is the 50 States and the
District of Columbia. The American Gas Association (AGA) publishes
weekly estimates of working hsd levels in underground storage by region.
AGA defines the producing Region as Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas, New
Mexico,Louisiana, Arkansas, andMississippi River, the Eastern Consuming
Region as all States east of the Western Consuming Region as all States
west of theMississippi River less the Producing Region and lowa,
Nebraska and Missouri.
