Monthly Natural Gas Production Report with data for June 2008
Released: August 29, 2008
Next Release: September 30, 2008

Data presented in the table below are monthly natural gas gross withdrawals estimated from data collected on the EIA-914 survey. Gross withdrawals are converted to marketed natural gas production which is reported on the EIA website in the Natural Gas Navigator, and in the Natural Gas Monthly and Annual reports. Marketed production is calculated by subtracting gas used for repressuring, quantities vented and flared, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating or processing operations from gross withdrawals.

The 12-month increase from June 2007 to June 2008 for the lower 48 States was 8.6 percent. This large increase was driven by the strong production trends in Texas, Wyoming, and Other States. For the month of June, lower 48 States production increased 1.5 percent as most areas showed an increase. The Gulf of Mexico increased 9.3 percent with the resumption of production for the Independence Hub. Wyoming increased 1.8 percent and Other States 1.9 percent as new wells began production. New Mexico’s 4.5 percent decrease was a result of gas plants being shut down for maintenance.

All estimates, except as footnoted, are based on the adjusted ratio estimate method, which is explained in the Background and Methodology report. Readers are encouraged to review these reports to better understand all aspects of the EIA-914 survey. The Data Files contain initial and revised production estimates for each month (revisions are based on company resubmissions and late reports) and response rates by month.

1 The estimates are based on the adjusted ratio method, explained in the Background and Methodology report.
2 Texas gross withdrawals data do not include CO2 production associated with injection projects.
 Texas CO2 Adjustment Article
3 Monthly Other States total estimates determined by applying the ratio of 2006 total gross natural gas production published in the EIA Natural Gas Navigator to the 2006 EIA-914 survey production.

R=Revised data. It is EIA-914's revision policy to revise the prior month's data for any change when the latest month's data is released. Earlier months are only revised when a current estimate differs by the amount specified in the Revision Policy.

Note: New Mexico EIA-914 gross withdrawals estimates now include CO2 production in the same manner as it is reported by the State of New Mexico. All associated EIA-914 Data Files have been updated.
Area estimates may not add to the Lower-48 estimate due to independent rounding.
