Appalachia, Haynesville Regions to Lead Natural Gas Production Declines into October, EIA Says

Appalachia, Haynesville Regions to Lead Natural Gas Production Declines into October, EIA Says

Driven by declines from the Appalachian Basin and the Haynesville Shale, combined natural gas output from seven key Lower 48 regions will trend lower from September to October, according to updated modeling from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Combined natural gas output from the seven regions — a group that also includes the Anadarko…

Production to Hold Steady as Henry Natural Gas Back Above $3 in 2024, EIA Says

Production to Hold Steady as Henry Natural Gas Back Above $3 in 2024, EIA Says

Henry Hub natural gas spot prices will climb back above the $3/MMBtu threshold on average next year, though associated output from the Permian Basin will keep production elevated, according to updated projections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Domestic production is expected to remain at “relatively high levels” throughout 2023 even as natural gas…

Natural Gas Prices to Rise This Summer on Higher Electric Demand, Flat Production, EIA Says

Natural Gas Prices to Rise This Summer on Higher Electric Demand, Flat Production, EIA Says

Natural gas prices will rise this summer as power sector demand increases and production growth slows, according to updated projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). After averaging $2.15/MMBtu in May, Henry Hub spot prices will climb to an average of slightly above $2.60 for 3Q2023, EIA said in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO),…
