Feds: Less Shale, But More Production

How’s this for mixed mes­sages? A new report from the U.S. Energy Infor­ma­tion Agency is reduc­ing its esti­mate of nat­ural gas in the Mar­cel­lus Shale to 141 tril­lion cubic feet. Last year, an EIA report put the level at more than 400 tril­lion cubic feet of gas.

The same report, how­ever, antic­i­pates domes­tic gas pro­duc­tion will triple by 2035.

StateIm­pact Penn­syl­va­nia will take a closer look at the report and its impli­ca­tions for Pennsylvania’s energy econ­omy later today.
