Spearheaded by the Haynesville Shale, natural gas production from seven key U.S. onshore regions will approach 95 Bcf/d in October, according to the latest modeling from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Combined output from the Haynesville — along with the Anadarko, Appalachian and Permian basins, as well as the Bakken, Eagle Ford and Niobrara formations — will rise to 94.741 Bcf/d in October, a 606 MMcf/d sequential increase, EIA said.

The latest projections, part of EIA’s monthly Drilling Productivity Report (DPR), show the Haynesville leading with month/month natural gas production growth of 188 MMcf/d. The Permian (up 152 MMcf/d), Eagle Ford (up 119 MMcf/d) and Appalachian (up 91 MMcf/d) regions are expected to follow close behind.
