U.S. monthly new-well gas production per rig 2020

Appalachia recorded the highest monthly new-well natural gas production per rig in the period of consideration, reaching some 20.8 million cubic feet per day as of August 2020. The Appalachia basin is situated across the states of New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. This basin was the most productive region as well. In the period of consideration, Haynesville had the second highest monthly new-well gas production per rig, with production at 10.8 million cubic feet per day in August 2020.

Monthly new-well natural gas production per rig in the United States from August 2019 to August 2020, by basin (in 1,000 cubic feet per day)*

Supplementary notes

* The source adds the following information: "(The) rig productivity metric 'new-well oil/natural gas production per rig' can become unstable during periods of rapid decreases or increases in the number of active rigs and well completions. The metric uses a fixed ratio of estimated total production from new wells divided by the region's monthly rig count, lagged by two months. The metric does not represent new-well oil/natural gas production per newly completed well"
