POLL-U.S. natgas stockpiles seen up 58 bcf in week to Aug. 26

The U.S. fuel has become key to Western Europe cutting its reliance on Russian gas. Liquefied gas exports this year have averaged 11.5 billion cubic feet per day, up 18% year-over-year. There are at least four new export projects under… For more info go to https://reut.rs/3RrlHHk
