The Marcellus region is expected to produce 16,045 million cubic feet of gas per day in November 2014, reflecting a 217 mcf/day increase from October, making it both the highest-producing region among the Utica, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Niobrara and Permian basins.

New-well gas production per rig is anticipated to increase across all regions between October and November 2014, with the Marcellus and Utica seeing potential increases of 39 thousand cubic feet per day and 114 tcf/day, respectively.
