M-U Natural Gas Production Goes Down, Prices Go Up

S&P Global Platts Analytics is reporting natural gas production in the Marcellus/Utica (which they call Appalachia) has "tumbled." After reaching a record-high 34.8 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) in late December, Appalachia gas production fell to an estimated 33.3 Bcf/d on Jan. 14 (down 4%). The drop in production has caused the price of gas at regional trading hubs like Eastern Gas South (formerly Dominion South) to jump. Eastern Gas South is up 34 cents from the beginning of January.
