US natural gas futures fall on weaker oil, milder weather forecasts
UNG•Production, LNG flows and key market data
LSEG said average gas output in the U.S. Lower 48 states has held at 110.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) so far in August, matching the monthly record high set in July.
Average gas flows to the nine big U.S. LNG export plants have fallen to 16.9 bcfd so far in August due in part to maintenance at several facilities, including Freeport LNG's 2.4-bcfd plant in Texas. That figure is down from an average of 17.2 bcfd in July and a monthly record high of 18.8 bcfd in April.
