atural gas production in the Haynesville Shale formation, which spans much of northwest Louisiana, has reached its highest point since its peak in 2012. 

Since bottoming out in 2016, production has gradually increased on the back of rising natural gas prices, according to a new report from the Energy Information Administration. Production in June 2018 reached 6.4 billion cubic feet per day, accounting for 8.5 percent of total U.S. dry natural gas production.
