US natural gas production reaches new heights in 2018

Last year natural gas production in the United States grew by 10 billion cubic feet per day, according to reports conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The 11%-production increase marked the largest annual production increase on record, reaching an all-time high for the second consecutive year, according to The Youngstown Business Journal.

The Utica/Point Pleasant shale in Ohio, and the Marcellus shale play in Pennsylvania and West Virginia drove the growth and continues to be the largest natural-gas-producing region in the country.
