Northeast Texas And Rocky Mountain States Deliver Abundant Gas
Since 1998, natural gas production has surged from northeast Texas and the Rocky Mountain regions. According to the Energy Information Administration, between 1998 and 2006, production grew 114% from northeast Texas and 86% from three Rocky Mountain states.
Texas Railroad Commission districts 5, 6 and 9 grew production by 1 Tcf during the period, thanks to sterling results in the Barnett shale, Cotton Valley and Bossier plays. Rocky Mountain states Wyoming, Colorado and Utah grew their natural-gas production by nearly 1.5 Tcf, mainly from massive tight-sand field developments. Wyoming led the group with addition of 857 Bcf.
