* Updated data for natural gas production (up to July 2022) indicates that output totaled 2,900.0 million standard cubic feet per day in June and 2,889.0 million standard cubic feet per day in July. The average production over the period October 2021 to July 2022 was therefore 2,645.3 million standard cubic feet per day, reflecting an increase of 1.2 percent compared to the similar period one year earlier.
