US Natural Gas Production - EIA (5/1/09)
Attached are graphs for historical gas production for the US and selected states based on the latest EIA information.
Total US gas production has begun to flatten at ~ 63 Bcfd over the last several months. This is the result of the decreased rig count and slowing gas demand. Texas production is down 1 Bcfd (4.3%) since November. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) production has recovered from the effects of Hurricane Ike but continues to decline overall. Wyoming was one of the 1st states to be impacted by the declining rig count and production has started to flatten. Oklahoma has also been impacted by rig count. Overall Louisiana production has remained rather steady at 3.7 - 3.9 Bcfd for several years but during the 4th Qtr of 2008 South Louisiana production declined by 0.2 Bcfd while NW Louisiana production increased by the same amount. This was the effect of Haynesville Shale production. Some of the more significant states in the "Other" category are Colorado, Utah, Kansas & Arkansas.

Thanks, Les. Looks like most are producing at or above what they were over a year's time from Jan. '08 to Jan. '09. Interesting how the Lower 48 Overall takes the same dramatic declines in Sept. '05 and Sept. '08 as happens for the GOM & Louisiana. Would that be a correlative indication of where the most production is coming from?

Sesport, basically in both events GOM production dropped 5 Bcfd & Louisiana production down 1 Bcfd correlating to the Lower 48 decease of ~ 6 Bcfd. This is the reason some markets such as Florida have supported the new pipeline projects that provide them access to East Texas and North Louisiana production.

Thanks again, Les. I'm finding a little humor in the idea that to get to E. Texas from Florida, "they" have to come through LA. ha, ha
However, the pipelines need product to transport. Do you find anyone from Fla. that's up on "the Hill" helping push for E&P or R&D to increase demand? I'd love to see those charts of yours go up & "off the grid!" lol
