December 12, 2024--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In 2023, U.S. producers sent a record 113.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas to market, according to figures assembled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Seventy percent of that amount came from five states.

Topping the list with 28% of marketed gas was Texas. Next were Pennsylvania (18%), Louisiana (10%), West Virginia (8%) and New Mexico (8%). So far in 2024, overall production has slowed a bit, but the EIA reports that these five have increased their share to 73% of the nation's total.
