# Natural gas production headed for a slow-down in 2020 - WHYY

> Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia supplied about one-third of U.S. shale gas output in 2019, with Marcellus and Utica producers growing rapidly. IHS Markit expects production to stay roughly flat in 2020 because pipeline and market constraints limit growth. Chevron is exiting the Marcellus and Utica plays.

## Why it matters

Flat production in 2020 after rapid growth in 2019 could tighten the supply outlook and support gas prices from the low levels near $2 per mmBtu. The shift from growth to flat output is a meaningful change for gas supply expectations.
