A mild winter last year resulted in a drop in natural gas demand of 600 bcf from November-March. The drop in demand caused a glut of inventory, which pressured prices to the decade lows seen in April. The report released by the EIA showed that natural gas inventories increased by 65 billion cubic feet to a record 3.908 trillion cubic feet (TCF), surpassing the previous record of 3.852 tcf set in November 2011. According to analysts' the recent surge in prices have likely caused a drop in demand from utility companies who have reverted back to coal.

"The report was pretty bearish," said Aaron Calder, an analyst at Gelber & Associates. "It showed a lot of reverse fuel switching, or power generators switching from gas to coal."
