Really anything! The storage tanks of the 4 French LNG terminals are only used to adapt the arrival of the LNG ships, inevitably a little random, and their regasification rate which depends on the demand, strong at the moment. They are not "storage", just "tools" allowing the ability to unload an LNG carrier when it arrives.
The real storages are underground storages, in gaseous form, either in aquifers for the inter-seasonal term, or storage in saline cavities, a little more suited to relatively short-term movements.
In France, the vast majority is from the aquifer, storage in spring/summer and destocking during the winter.

Personally, I have only one explanation, which is that the contracts already signed by the various importers for the period between now and let's say summer are greater in volume than the forecast consumption plus the available storage capacity. .
Once again, it is better to manage a surplus than a shortage. LNG carriers can always be diverted to another destination.

this is understood as a reason, I find a way to invoke the "technical" reason in this case
