US Shale Gas Production in Dramatic Free Fall

摘要

Dry gas production in Appalachia and the Haynesville Shale has fallen by l billion cubic feet per day since December in a headlong plunge that is not only gaining steam but will be hard to brake. The Marcellus/Utica Shale region leads the spiral with losses of 777 million cubic feet per day since February, new US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data show. And those losses are accelerating as producers beset by anemic wellhead prices throttle back capital budgets in the name of fiscal discipline.
