DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6910949· OSTI ID:6910949

This publication presents a historical analysis of the activities of natural gas producers and their responses to market developments occurring since 1978. The report examines natural gas reserves and well production data for the period 1978 through 1988, particularly in respect to productive capacity in a changing market environment. In addition, the report examines productivity levels and the number of well abandonments or shut-ins relative to changes in market conditions and/or regulatory initiatives during the period. The report was prepared in part in response to public inquiries concerning these subjects and the availability of data of this nature. It is intended to be of interest to analysts in the natural gas industry, State and Federal regulatory bodies, Congress, and the general public. 18 refs., 25 figs., 37 tabs.
