Doesn't fracking also produce natural gas?

T

Technically it's what we call "associated gas".

Frackers are drilling for oil because it makes much more money than the small amount of NG they get out of most of the fracked geologies.

Gas is sort of a freebee but it's expensive to get to market.

If crude oil prices drop there will not be as much production as there will be no profit to pay for E&P.

And..

NG production will thus drop.

This is a "coffin corner" problem for the producers.

Oops!

Now there are wells that produce only NG.

Location, location, location.
