Lower-48 natural gas production has climbed more than 4.0 Bcf/d in the past 10 months. While Marcellus/Utica activity continues to drive the bulk of the recent increases in total volumes, crude-focused basins, like the Permian and SCOOP/STACK plays, also are picking up steam as a new generation of oil rigs is deployed to the fields and vying for market share. In other words, production growth is no longer a one-man — uh, one-basin — show. Today, we look at what’s happening with gas production outside the Northeast.
