Washington (Platts)--14May2007

Calling US natural gas supplies "robust," US Energy Information
Administration chief Guy Caruso said Monday he did not expect a hurricane
season "fly-up" in gas prices.

     Based on the latest reports from the US National Oceanic & Atmospheric 
Administration, the amount of gas in storage stocks and projections of
upcoming gas-storage injections, Caruso said there should be enough gas on
hand to mitigate any rise in gas prices this summer and fall.

     "I am cautiously optimistic," Caruso said.
