Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Led by the Appalachian Basin in the Northeast U.S., three regions are playing a much bigger role in U.S. natural gas production these days, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
In recent months, gross production of natural gas in the U.S. has been more than 10% higher compared with the same months in 2017, according to the EIA's Today in Energy report for Tuesday. The Appalachian Basin, the Permian Basin in western Texas and New Mexico, and the Haynesville Shale in Texas and Louisiana are leading the charge in production growth. They collectively account for nearly half of U.S. production, compared with just 15% as recently as 2007.
Growth in natural gas production in the Northeast has come mainly from the Marcellus and Utica shale plays in the Appalachian Basin, which collectively accounted for about 29% of total production in July, the EIA said, which added that recent infrastructure buildout (new pipeline capacity) has allowed more natural gas to move out of the region. Production has increased in part because of new drilling techniques and more efficient completions.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Appalachian Basin extends over New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. The states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are considered to the primary source of shale gas production growth. Industrial Info is tracking more than $3.3 billion worth of Oil & Gas Production project activity that has been assessed as having a medium or high likelihood of moving forward as planned. This includes more than $2.5 billion in gas-processing projects.
In Bulger, Pennsylvania, Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) (Dallas, Texas) is building the $250 million Revolution cryogenic natural gas plant, with a planned completion this year. The facility will have a processing capacity of 440 million standard cubic feet per day to produce natural gas liquids and fractionated ethane. ISTI Plant Services (Tulsa, Oklahoma) is the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) provider. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Just west of Lewisville, Ohio, Caiman Energy (Dallas, Texas) and Blue Racer Midstream, a joint venture between Caiman and Dominion Energy Incorporated (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia), are planning construction of the $225 million Train #3 addition at the Berne natural gas processing plant complex. The 200 million-standard-cubic-foot-per-day train will produce 20,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of mixed natural gas liquids (NGLs), bringing the complex's total natural gas processing capacity to 600 million standard cubic feet per day and NGL capacity to 60,000 BBL/d. Construction kickoff is slated for the second quarter of 2019, with completion in late 2019. Audubon Engineering LLC (Houston, Texas) is the design engineer. For more information, See Industrial Info's project report.
One of the larger projects in terms of total investment value (TIV) is Antero Resources Corporation's (NYSE:AR) (Denver, Colorado) $275 million shale water treatment and recycling facility in Doddridge Country near Bridgeport, West Virginia. Now under construction, the facility will treat 60,000 BBL/d wastewater to be recycled back to drilling operations. Completion is expected in early 2019. Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is the turn-key, design-build provider for the project. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
