EIA: Still More Gas in November
Natural gas production in the Lower 48 states climbed 0.6%, or 0.41 Bcf/d, in November from October levels, according to the latest figures from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Lower 48 production was 73.88 Bcf/d, a new record for the data, which EIA began reporting in January 2005.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects total domestic marketed natural gas production to increase to 69.8 Bcf/d in 2013 from 69.2 Bcf/d in 2012, and to drop slightly to 69.5 Bcf/d in 2014. Growth in Lower 48 onshore production, driven largely by the Marcellus Shale and other shale plays, will continue through 2014, although it will be offset by Gulf of Mexico declines, EIA said.
