Gross natural gas withdrawals in the Haynesville region in Louisiana and Texas grew by 2.0 Bcf/d in 2022 to 15.3 Bcf/d, or 13% of U.S. The average breakeven price in the Permian during 2022 ranged from $50 per barrel (b) to $54/b, according to data from a Dallas Fed Energy survey. Despite lower average crude oil prices in 2022 compared with previous years, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices remained high enough to support oil-directed drilling activity, especially in the Permian region. Unlike the other two regions, natural gas production growth in the Permian region is primarily the result of oil-directed drilling because of the associated gas produced during oil production. In 2022, gross natural gas withdrawals rose by 2.6 Bcf/d in the Permian, averaging 21.0 Bcf/d. natural gas producing region, accounting for 18% of U.S.

The Permian region in western Texas and New Mexico is the second-largest U.S.

In 2022, growth was just 0.1 Bcf/d, less than in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts limited production growth. In 2021, gross natural gas withdrawals in the Appalachia region had grown by 1.4 Bcf/d. No new major pipeline capacity additions from the Northeast came online in 2022. natural gas-producing region, its production growth has been slowing because sufficient pipeline takeaway capacity is not available to transport more natural gas.

Even as Appalachia remained the most prolific U.S.

gross natural gas withdrawals (or 34.6 Bcf/d). In 2022, the Appalachia region in the Northeast produced more natural gas than any other U.S. Energy Information Administration, Drilling Productivity Report, Monthly Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production Report, and Natural Gas Monthly
