NY Natural Gas Production (2008)
The NY Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is reporting that natural gas production in 2008 fell slightly to 50.32 Bcf, an 8% decline from the previous year. Still, oil and gas production in the state earned landowners nearly $61 million in royalties, with local governments receiving an estimated $14.6 million in taxes.
"The Trenton-Black River formation remains New York's dominant gas production zone, accounting for 69 percent of total production in 2008." A new on-line database can give you individual well production information if you are interested (including well owners and operators, locations, and depths). Not bad.
