Natural gas production in the Lower 48 states was 71.76 Bcf/d in March, a 0.26 Bcf/d (0.4%) decrease compared with 72.02 Bcf/d in February, according to the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest Monthly Natural Gas Gross Production report. Texas had the largest decline at 0.15 Bcf/d (0.7%) as several operators reported shut-ins for well maintenance, EIA said. Declines in Louisiana (0.09 Bcf/d, or 1.1%) and New Mexico (0.08 Bcf/d, or 2.2%) were partially explained by well maintenance “and a few operators who cited low prices as a reason for limiting their production,” EIA said. Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico production was 4.69 Bcf/d in March, a 0.16 Bcf/d (3.5%) increase compared with 4.53 Bcf/d in February, as production from shut-in wells resumed, EIA said. Production was down in every other category in March compared with the previous month — including the U.S. total, which was 81.75 Bcf/d (a 0.4% decline) — according to the report. Production in the “other states” category was 21.67 Bcf/d, a 0.2% decrease compared with 21.72 Bcf/d in February. Alaska production was 9.99 Bcf/d (down 0.5%); Oklahoma was 5.31 Bcf/d (down 0.2%) and Wyoming was 6.42% (down 0.6%).
