NE Pennsylvania

<p>Natural gas production is growing faster in the Marcellus and Utica than any other part of North America.</p>

In the past 10 years Marcellus and Utica shale drilling has transformed the U.S. Northeast from a sleepy backwater of gas production into a powerhouse that (according to the Energy Information Administration) supplied 22% of total U.S. gas production in December 2014.  NGL production from the region is already 8% of the U.S. total and likely headed toward 20% by 2020.  These vast shale formations cover most of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio, but it turns out that most of the production comes from only 20 or so counties across those three states.  Such geographic concentration has significant implications for regional infrastructure development and capacity. Today we describe where producers have found success in the region.
