- Natural gas production fell 2% in 2025 from 2024.
Production
- provisional . Months in the hatched zone are partly reported. The part not yet filed is estimated. That estimate draws on our own production forecast. The forecast is provisional. It updates as filings arrive
- estimated . Hatching marks our estimate. In the most recent months that is volume still to be filed. Past the divider it is our forecast.
In this view, hatching marks our estimate, and in the most recent months that is volume still to be filed. Past the divider, the chart continues only the bands it has drawn. Each band continues as our forecast, built by summing our per-well forecasts. The method behind each well is recorded with the forecast. The forward months add no new wells. How our methods work
All from what the source published. All held at well grain.

Every cubic foot through June 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1978 to June 2026.

About this map
Undetermined means not enough signal to settle it. Producing wells are the ones that reported oil or gas in the trailing 12 months per region.
Type curves
Average production per well, for wells grouped by when they first produced.
How these curves are built
Average daily production per well, drawn against the cohort’s cumulative production per well on a log rate scale, for wells grouped by when they first produced. Includes every well of the cohort that is old enough at each month. Wells that are shut in or have stopped producing count as zero, so the average reflects the full cohort, not just survivors. Rates are calendar-day (volume ÷ days in month). The cumulative axis accumulates those same monthly averages at the average month length. Months not yet fully reported are excluded. The 2010-2014 curve draws those years as one group. The chart opens on average daily rate against months on production; the view control switches to rate against cumulative production per well (the log-rate form described above) or to cumulative production per well against months. Every view draws the same cohorts from the same production history. Each cohort is solid through the last month all of its wells sit inside fully reported data. Past it the dashed curve carries the same wells forward, on our forecast where a well’s own record ends, for up to five years. A dashed curve runs as far as at least nine in ten of its wells are accounted for. A well that is old enough but shut in still counts, as zero. The measured months are what these wells reported. In the forward months each well counts its own reported figure for each month it has one, our forecast for each month it has only that, and zero for the rest. The forward average counts every well of the cohort. The drawn forecast runs up to five years past the measured months. Line thickness tracks the size of each cohort. 1,633 wells are counted here but not shown on the age axis: they started producing in 1980 or earlier, too close to the start of our records for their region to verify their true age.

Key numbers
What we cover here
Each row names the grain a region’s production is held at. Where a source publishes at a coarser grain, the page says so.
| Data | Grain | Since | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming production | well | 1978-01 | ~100–101% of EIA |
Benchmark cells compare our series with the EIA’s published estimates.
About the EIA comparison
The two are produced differently: the EIA estimates from a survey of the largest operators and a model built to anticipate late filings, while the series compared here are rebuilt from the source’s own records as they arrive. Recent months can differ without either being wrong; the methodology page explains both methods.
Coverage rows for Green River are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.
What the data shows
- The Green River footprint produced 5.9 MMbbl of oil and 819.6 Bcf of natural gas in 2025.
- The Green River footprint gas production peaked in 2010 at 1.44 Tcf; 2025 output of 819.6 Bcf ran at 57% of that peak.
- Green River is a producing area, not a single rock target: the 26,600 wells here are grouped by where they are, across every formation and trajectory drilled inside it.
- 10,395 producing wells tracked, trailing 12 months per region.
