Overview

The Mid-Continent production region has been a mainstay in North American natural gas supply portfolios for decades. Over that time period, however, producers have developed a large portion of the known reserves with minimal new prospects on the horizon. As production decline rates increase, what is the impact on traditional markets relying on this supply source? This report allows you to re-evaluate supply and transportation profiles to capitalize on changing Mid-Continent supply positions, reducing costs and increasing returns on investments.
