Pennsylvania (US) marketed gas production rose by 3% in 2017
According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), Pennsylvania's marketed gas production averaged a record level of 15 bcf/d (423 mcm/d) in 2017 (+3% year-on-year), mostly thanks to shale gas plays in the Appalachian basin. Pennsylvania accounted for 19% of the total US natural gas production in 2017 and was the second largest gas producing state after Texas. Besides, the drilling rig count also increased, from 20 in 2016 to 33 in 2017, while several new pipeline projects allowed the natural gas production to be adjusted with the ability of regional infrastructure to process and transport it out of Pennsylvania. According to the EIA, Appalachian gas production is expected to continue rising in the short term.
