Shares of the United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (NYSE:UNG) are up 5.9%, Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE:CHK) up 1.28% and Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) climbing 1.8% thanks to natural gas supplies dropping for the second week in a row.

(MarketWatch | theStockMasters.com) -- Natural gas futures jumped 7% on Thursday, after the Energy Information Administration reported another drop in U.S. natural gas supplies. Natural gas for January delivery was recently up 40 cents, or 7.3%, at $5.86 per million British thermal units.

After nearly nine months of build-ups, natural gas in storage in the U.S. fell for the second week in a row, this time by 207 billion cubic feet, the EIA said. The drop was much bigger than expected. Analysts surveyed by Platts expected no more than a 4 billion cubic feet withdrawal.
