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 May was approximately 75 percent of storage capacity.
In May 2025, Nebraska had the capacity to store 12,653 million cubic feet (mmcf) of working natural gas or working gas, and there was 9,528 mmcf working gas in storage according to the Energy Information Administration estimates. As shown in Figure 1 and the data table below, this volume of working gas was a increase of 1,032 mmcf (or 12 percent) from April 2025 but up 0.14 percent from May 2024. Stocks were higher than the five–year average, equivalent to May 2024's stocks, and at the upper boundary of the five–year range.
