Natural gas growth concentrated in Marcellus and Utica regions

Tuesday, February 6, 2018 by Sara Welch

The United States Energy Information Administration projects production growth to be concentrated in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions and in the Permian region, according to the Farm and Dairy.

The EIA predicts increased supply from the Marcellus and Utica shales along with flat demand will trigger lower natural gas prices over the next 24 months. However, it also predicts consumption will increase during that time.

The low prices and plentiful supply are expected to spur increased use of natural gas for electric power generation.

Shale FAQ

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?

Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
