Inventories

EIA counts propane and propylene stocks in primary storage (refineries, gas plants, pipelines and bulk terminals) and publishes them every Wednesday in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, for the week ended the Friday before. The tank at a house or a dealer's bulk plant is not in the number.

US propane inventories carries the national level against its five-year band and a table with every district: the East Coast and its three sub-districts, the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, and the Rockies and West Coast together. The Gulf Coast, where most of the country's stocks sit, has its own page. For how to read a week against the band, see propane inventories and the five-year average; for the report itself, the EIA Petroleum Status Report, explained.
