US shale gas basins, 2011. Shale gas in the United States is an available source of unconventional natural gas.Led by new applications of hydraulic fracturing technology and horizontal drilling, development of new sources of shale gas has offset declines in production from conventional gas reservoirs, and has led to major increases in reserves of U.S. natural gas.

Natural gas production 1973-2022 U.S. natural gas monthly production, imports, and exports Discovered shale gas deposits as of June 2016 Natural gas production by State. Natural gas was the United States' largest source of energy production in 2016, representing 33 percent of all energy produced in the country. [1]
In 1996, shale gas wells in the United States produced 0.3 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (8.5 km 3), 1.6% of US gas production; by 2006, production had more than tripled to 1.1 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (31 km 3) per year, 5.9% of US gas production. By 2005, there were 14,990 shale gas wells in the US. [20] A record 4,185 shale gas wells were completed in the US in ...
EIA forecast for US gas production through 2040. [44]: 2 Of US gas production in 2010, 26% came from tight sandstone reservoirs and 23% from shales, for a total of 49%. [47] As production increased, there was less need for imports: in 2012, the US imported 32% less natural gas than it had in 2007. [48]
Utica Shale drilling and production began in Ohio in 2011. Ohio as of 2013 is becoming a major natural gas and oil producer from the Utica Shale in the eastern part of the state. [10] Map of Ohio Utica Shale drilling permits and activity by date. [11] [12] In 2011 drilling and permits for drilling in the Utica Shale in Ohio reached record highs ...
Shale gas and associated liquids produced throughout the country can support all the major chemical-producing regions, including the U.S. Gulf Coast, which today serves as a major hub of ...
Marcellus gas production has lowered the price of natural gas in the Mid-Atlantic states of the US, which previously were almost entirely dependent on gas pipelined in from the US Gulf Coast. From 2005 through 2008, wholesale gas prices at Mid-Atlantic states were $0.23 to $0.33 per million BTU above prices of the main Gulf Coast trading point ...
