Well production estimates are evaluated to provide estimates of total and remaining technically-recoverable gas resources in the Marcellus and Utica shale gas plays of the Appalachian basin. Domestic gas resources are critical contributors to the United States (U.S.) economy and will be key to enabling the sustainable and carbon-neutral fuel systems of the future. Recent assessments by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) continue to identify resources of the Appalachian region as critical to meeting energy demand, with the Marcellus and Utica- Point Pleasant (“Utica”) shale plays combining for more than 30 percent of projected U.S. domestic natural gas production through 2050.
