March 23 (LNGJ) - US natural gas production in the lower 48 states averaged 73.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in February, which is up nearly 1.4 Bcf/d compared with the January average, according to Bentek analytics. On a month-over-month basis, February natural gas production was up nearly 2 percent from January, boosted by northern shale gas. “Northeast gas production reached nearly 23.1 Bcf/d in February, rendering an average of 22.7 Bcf/d for the month,” the report said. “For basins outside the Northeast, the February average was nearly flat or slightly declining from the previous month,” it added.
