　　Analysts See 42 Billion-Cubic Feet Drain From U.S. Natural-Gas Inventories

　　By Stephanie Yang

　　Analysts expect government data scheduled for release Wednesday to show natural-gas stockpiles shrank by less than the average for this time of year.

　　The U.S. Energy Information Administration is expected to report that storage levels fell by 42 billion cubic feet of gas during the week ended Dec. 2, according to the average forecast of 15 analysts and brokers surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.

　　For the Dec. 2 week, the median estimate is for a decline of 44 bcf. Estimates range from a decrease of 53 bcf to a decrease of 32 bcf.

　　The estimate compares with 69 bcf drawn from storage in the same week last year and a five-year average withdrawal of 61 bcf for that week.
