Texas Wildfires Cut Natural Gas Demand

摘要

A Bentek Energy study shows that at the height of the Texas wildfires, demand for natural gas dropped by about 1 billion cubic feet per day. In Texas, a large number of wildfires have burned 120,000 acres and destroyed more than 1,700 homes and other buildings. Texas state officials said the majority of the fires, some burning for more than a week, are slowly being brought under control. So far, the wildfires have spared wells, drilling rigs and pipelines.

The Haynesville —which is found in both Texas and Louisiana— produces more than 5 billion cubic feet per dav.
