Antero Resources Continues as WV’s Largest Producer with 3.4 Bcfe/d
Antero Resources, which is 100% focused on the Marcellus/Utica with over 500,000 net acres under lease and the largest M-U driller and producer in West Virginia, shoots to produce 3.4 billion cubic feet equivalent per day (Bcfe/d) of natural gas in the Mountain State. The company recently reported net production averaging 3.43 Bcfe/d in 4Q24, up ever so slightly from 3.42 Bcfe/d in 4Q23 (see Antero to Drill 50-55 New Wells, Spend $100M on New Leases in 2025). From the quarterly update, we learned that Antero plans to drill 50-55 new wells and complete 60-65 wells this year. Those numbers were recently reaffirmed in an interview with Antero VP Conrad Baston by WV News. Bringing 60 wells online annually keeps production humming along in the 3.4 Bcfe/d range.To view this content, log into your member account. (Not a member? Join Today!)
