Marcellus and Utica Shales in the US, 2019 - Gas Shales Market Analysis and Outlook to 2023

Summary

The US Appalachian Basin located in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York continues to be the driver in natural gas production within the United States. During May 2019, it produced around 31 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) and is forecast to reach a rate of approximately 35 Bcfd by the end of 2019. The basin comprises the two main formations - the Marcellus, and the Utica. The majority of the activity in the Marcellus continues to take place in north east and south west Pennsylvania while the hotspot for the Utica is in eastern Ohio. Fracking activity in the Marcellus and Utica formations is driven by the large demand for natural gas from the nearby populated areas and although natural gas prices have experienced some volatility during recent years, Appalachian producers are generally able to sell their natural gas at a premium in trading hubs located in the North East. The competitive landscape of the Marcellus play is largely dominated by EQT Corp., the largest natural gas producer in the US, whereas, Ascent Resources LLC and Gulfport Energy Corp. lead the natural gas production in the Utica play.
