U.S. Gas Production Curbed by Seasonal Maintenance

September 16, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Seasonal maintenance on the U.S. natural gas pipeline sector led to declines in production, just as the domestic liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector continues to advance, data show. IIR Energy found that natural gas production from the Lower 48 states averaged 106 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) last week, much lower than federal estimates pointing to an annual average of 114.3 Bcf/d for 2025.
