Natural Gas in Storage in Nebraska

The traditional inventory–building season is April to October for natural gas. The volume of working gas in underground storage by November 1 has to meet winter's demands under any circumstance. The volume in storage in December was approximately 86 percent of storage capacity.

In December 2025, Nebraska had the capacity to store 12,653 million cubic feet (mmcf) of working natural gas or working gas, and there was 10,931 mmcf working gas according to the Energy Information Administration estimates. As shown in Figure 1 and the data table below, this volume of working gas was a decrease of 230 mmcf (or 2 percent) from the previous month and down 7 percent from December of the previous year. Stocks were above the five–year average, below the previous year's stocks, but in the upper half of the five–year range.
