US natural gas output is expected to plunge the most since last winter as freezing weather across key production regions shuts wells.

Daily output of the heating and power-generation fuel is estimated at less than 96 billion cubic feet on Thursday, down from roughly 100 billion a day earlier, according to preliminary BloombergNEF data based on pipeline nominations. That would be the biggest one-day drop since Feb. 3, when bitter cold and snow descended on Texas.
