M-U April NatGas Production Falls 400 MMcf/d in Ohio, SW Pa.

S&P Global Commodity Insights reports that natural gas production in the Marcellus/Utica has fallen this month, in April, by some 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) from the average production seen during the first quarter.

Falling demand (from mild weather) and high rates of storage (extra supply) are crashing the spot price for natural gas traded at the region's defacto benchmark trading hub--Eastern Gas South.
