In August, production in the Lower 48 states increased by 1.2 percent or 0.92 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Other States had the largest volume increase at 2.4 percent or 0.74 Bcf/d which was a result of many new wells coming online. Texas was up 1.1 percent or 0.26 Bcf/d because of new wells coming online and the opening of previously shut-in wells. Wyoming production showed the largest decrease at 2.2 percent or 0.12 Bcf/d caused primarily by equipment problems and maintenance.

| 1 The EIA-914 estimates are based on the simple ratio method, explained in the Methodology. |
| 2 Texas gross withdrawals data do not include CO2 production associated with injection projects. Texas CO2 Adjustment Article |
| 3 2014-Forward monthly Other States total estimates are determined by applying the ratio of 2013 gross natural gas production published at http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_prod_sum_a_EPG0_FGW_mmcf_a.htm to the 2013 reported EIA-914 survey production. |
| 4 Alaska data is from the State of Alaska, not the EIA-914. It's included here for completeness. |
| R=Revised data. It is EIA-914's revision policy to revise the prior month's data for any change when the latest month's data is released. Earlier months are only revised when a current estimate differs by the amount specified in the Revision Policy. |
| Notes: New Mexico EIA-914 gross withdrawals estimates now include CO2 production in the same manner as it is reported by the State of New Mexico. All associated EIA-914 Data Files have been updated. Area estimates may not add to the lower 48 estimate due to independent rounding.
All estimates, except as footnoted, are based on the simple ratio estimate method, which is explained in the Methodology. Readers are encouraged to review these reports to better understand all aspects of the EIA-914 survey. The Data Files contain initial and revised production estimates for each month (revisions are based on company resubmissions and late reports) and response rates by month. Data and graphs showing comparisons between EIA-914 estimates and other sources can also be found here.
