MDU Resources Group  (FRA:MRE) Natural Gas Storage Capacity (Bcf) Explanation

A natural gas storage is a facility that can store natural gas for an indefinite period of time. Natural gas storages are typically located underground, that’s why they are called underground gas storages or UGS as well. The main function of gas storages is to inject and store natural gas at a time of low prices and/or low demand and use the gas by withdrawing at times of higher prices and/or higher demand.

Why is utility storage important to investors?

Each week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration releases its natural gas storage report. This report highlights the change in working gas storage. A dramatic drawdown of inventory can lead to a jump in the price of natural gas and, conversely, a buildup in storage is a bearish indicator. By tuning into the storage numbers, investors can see one of the driving forces behind natural gas prices.

It is also used to quantify the energy produced (or potentially produced) by a company's reserves, as well as what is actually delivered to customers. Investors will look at this figure to understand how much earning potential a producer in the space may have.
