Import and storage terminals around the New York Harbor and the Delaware River sit alongside gas processing tied to the nearby Marcellus and Utica fields, so this region draws on both Appalachian production and the Gulf Coast pipeline network rather than one supply line alone. Stocks build over the warmer months and draw down as heating demand rises, the same calendar the rest of the East Coast follows. Because this sub-region carries the biggest share of East Coast demand, its five-year band tends to move the whole PADD 1 reading, and a level below normal here is felt across the region. ## About this data - Source: EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report - Series: Propane and propylene ending stocks - Basis: Primary storage, excluding propylene at terminal - Geography: PADD 1B (Central Atlantic) - Unit: million barrels - Calculation period: Weekly ending stocks - Last observation: Jul 17, 2026 - Update frequency: Weekly --- Cite: PADD 1B (Central Atlantic) propane stocks: 5.1 million barrels, 24% above the 5-yr median (The Fill Line's same-week 5-year median, not EIA's published five-year average).
