Adequate inventories Underground storage facilities, as of October 4, 2005, held working gas stocks of 3,062 billion cubic feet (Bcf), 53 Bcf above the 5-year average of 3,009 Bcf. This left natural gas inventory levels in early October 2005 at 1.8 percent above the 5-year average level. However, the natural gas inventories in underground storage facilities are about 5 percent lower than last year at this time. The natural gas inventories are expected to track above normal levels through the rest of 2005 as long as weather conditions remain close to normal. Although storage levels are above recent historical norms, the relatively low injections during most of the summer have raised concerns about storage availability in the coming heating season
