Gas reserves in European underground storage facilities rose to 66.9% as of the end of the gas day on September 6, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), the association of European gas infrastructure operators.
This is 16.44 percentage points below the average level for this date over the past five years.
Over the last seven days, average net injections amounted to 290 million cubic meters per day, which is 24.2% higher than the five-year average.
The level of natural gas reserves in Europe is a key indicator for the global gas market. The total capacity of the EU storage system is 109 billion cubic meters of active gas. In the global LNG market, Europe has collectively become the largest importer.
