Note: EIA will begin publishing estimates of working natural gas stocks and the net change in working natural gas stocks based on a new sample selection in the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report (WNGSR) on November 21, 2024, with the report for the week ending November 15, 2024. On Monday, November 18, 2024, EIA will revise eight weeks of previously released estimates to gradually introduce estimates from the new sample.
