Marcellus juggernaut

As Å·²©ÓéÀÖ oldest oil and gas producing area in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ United States, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Appalachian Basin has made a comeback during Å·²©ÓéÀÖ past decade thanks to Marcellus and Utica shale gas production. Shale gas production from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Marcellus and Utica basins now stands at roughly 20 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). ICF projects that Marcellus and Utica production will continue to grow rapidly, rising to upwards of 35 Bcf/d by 2025 and to more than 40 Bcf/d by 2035.

Production in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Marcellus and Utica basins is Å·²©ÓéÀÖ most cost effective in North America today. Robust development of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ area has been driven by significant improvements in horizontal drilling and multifrac completion technology and is also supported by Å·²©ÓéÀÖ area’s relatively large resource base. At Å·²©ÓéÀÖ same time, technology enhancements have kept drilling and completion costs in check.

In this quick take, ICF examines some of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ opportunities and risks for market participants.
