This was well above most estimates, by as much as 8-12 bcf. While not as loose in terms of supply/demand balances as some of the last several weeks, it was barely below the 10-week trend line.

When looking only at the same gas week in prior years, the degree of looseness becomes more apparent, however.

Oddly enough, this comes with prices at multi-year lows, and production levels that are, according to the data, off the highs from late March.
