ENSO Outlook: ONI Observations and Probabilities
ENSO Outlook: ONI Observations and Probabilities. ONI is the three-month average Niño 3.4 sea-surface-temperature anomaly; the ±0.5°C bands are guides and do not alone establish an official ENSO episode. Upper bands show cross-model spread, not an IRI calibrated confidence interval; lower probabilities are official IRI values, and ENSO is not a gas-price forecast..

Surplus in natural gas refers to how much the current inventory is above or below the 5-year average. A positive surplus means higher-than-average storage, while a negative surplus indicates lower-than-average levels.
| Date | Surplus Inventory | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026. 7. 10 | 161.8 | |
| 2026. 7. 17 | 171.4 | ▲ +9.6 |

US Supply (Line) and Demand (Bar)
This chart illustrates dry natural gas supply and demand. Heating season typically drives demand above supply levels.
Dry Production (Dry Natural Gas)
This refers to the volume of natural gas that remains after natural gas liquids (NGLs), water, and other impurities are removed.
Dry gas is the portion that is actually available for commercial use and sale.

U.S. Natural Gas Price and Storage
Storage refers to the underground facilities used to store excess gas. It helps balance seasonal demand, especially by supplying extra gas during the winter heating season.
| Date | Inventory | Change |

Gross Withdrawals (Natural Gas Production)
This is the total volume of natural gas extracted from wells each day, including all gas before processing.
It includes gas that is later re-injected, flared, vented, or removed as non-hydrocarbon gases.
| Date | Daily Production | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026. 2. 1 | 134.676 | |
| 2026. 3. 1 | 135.373 | ▲ +0.697 |

Rotary Rig Count
Rotary Rig Count refers to the number of active drilling rigs currently operating to explore or develop oil and natural gas.
It is a key indicator of drilling activity and is often used to gauge future production potential.
Total is based on Oil + Gas, excluding Baker Hughes’ Miscellaneous category.
| Date | Rig Count | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026. 7. 17 | 126 | |
| 2026. 7. 24 | 127 | ▲ +1 |
