U.S. shale gas production to post first decline since 2005

摘要

Simmons & Co. International analysts are predicting that U.S. natural gas production will fall by 600 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) or by 1% in 2016, the first such decline since 2005. The sharpest slowdown will be seen in the Marcellus and Utica shales, where production is forecast to grow by 1.8 Bcf/d compared with 4.6 Bcf/d in 2015.
