Canadian Natural Gas Storage Inventories and Flows, Monthly from 2016

Natural gas storage opening and closing inventories, injections, withdrawals, and adjustments reported in gigajoules and cubic metres. Statistics Canada publishes this data monthly, covering the period from January 2016 to the present. The dataset is available in CSV, HTML, and XML formats under the OGL-CA-2.0 license.

Use Cases

• Forecast seasonal natural gas demand based on monthly storage inventory levels.
• Analyze supply chain dynamics based on reported injection and withdrawal volumes.
• Model provincial energy security and storage capacity utilization based on reported inventories.
• Track long-term energy trends based on the multi-year monthly time series starting in 2016.

Strengths

• Data is published by Statistics Canada, a national statistical agency.
• Time series covers multiple years, starting from January 2016.
• Data is reported in two standard energy units: gigajoules and cubic metres.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada, focusing solely on Canada and its provinces.
