US natural-gas supplies constrained as extreme cold freezes pipes. Bloomberg.
US natural gas supplies are still constrained after wells and pipes froze due to extreme cold, while some recovery seems to be underway. Production of the heating and power-generation fuel on Monday is seen reaching 90 billion cubic feet, roughly 10% below normal, according to BloombergNEF estimates based on early pipeline schedules.

Lots of gathering systems have pipes near the surface. Wellheads can also freeze.
