Total production

Natural gas production in the Haynesville fell to just over 13 Bcf/d in April, from 15 Bcf/d just 2 months earlier. This was the steepest drop in production in the history of the basin.

In the first 4 months of this year, 150 horizontal wells were completed, vs. 181 in the same time frame last year.

Drilling activity

This decline was of course caused by collapsing natural gas prices; where end of last year 74 rigs were drilling in the basin, when natural gas prices were above $6 per Mcf, prices have fallen by 2/3rds to just $2 per Mcf. As of last week only 49 rigs were active in the basin.
