Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report

When is the next natural gas storage report?

The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes the next Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report, the natural gas storage report, at 10:30 AM EDT on Thursday, Aug 20, 2026. The 27 dated entries JMM holds do not share a single Eastern clock time, and run from Jul 2, 2026 to Dec 31, 2026.

The EIA states a standard release of 10:30 a.m. Eastern on Thursdays plus an exception table, and names no individual dates. These dates apply that rule with its two published 2026 exceptions as the table stood on the retrieval date; one moves the release later to a Friday and one moves it earlier to a Wednesday, so the shift is not a single direction, and the EIA marks amended rows as updated.

What it measures

Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report, in one paragraph

The Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report states how much working gas is held in underground storage across the United States, and by how much that total changed in the week. It is the reference number for the American gas market and the reason gas prices move on a Thursday morning.

What JMM reads first

Read the change against the five-year average for the same week rather than against zero. Storage is seasonal by construction, so an injection in November and an injection in June carry entirely different information, and the surprise that moves the price is the gap between the reported change and what the season would ordinarily produce.
