The Permian Basin and Haynesville Shale will keep domestic natural gas production growing into the new year, according to updated modeling from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Natural Gas Production

In its latest monthly Drilling Productivity Report (DPR), EIA said it expects natural gas production from seven key U.S. regions — the Anadarko, Appalachia and Permian basins, alongside the Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Niobrara shales — to rise to a combined 89.346 Bcf/d in January, a 341 MMcf/d sequential increase.

The Permian projects to increase output the most for the period, rising 115 MMcf/d from December and January to 19.688 Bcf/d. The Haynesville will follow close behind in growth rate, increasing output an estimated 104 MMcf/d from December to January to just under 14...
