Annual and Historical Comparisons

When compared to the same period last year, the figures show a decrease of 144 Bcf. Furthermore, the current stockpiles are 111 Bcf below the five-year average of 2,682 Bcf. Despite these changes, the total working gas remains within the five-year historical range, indicating a stable yet fluctuating energy landscape in the United States.
