U.S. dry natural gas production will rise to an all-time high of 91.03 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2019 from a record high of 83.39 bcfd last year, the Energy Information Administration said in its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO).

EIA also projected U.S. gas consumption would rise to an all-time high of 84.65 bcfd in 2019 from a record-high 82.07 bcfd a year ago.
