Is Tarrant tops in U.S. gas production?

Tarrant County not only continues to lead Texas' 254 counties in natural gas production, but might lead all counties in the nation, according to the Powell Barnett Shale Newsletter. It said in its weekly edition today that it "believes Tarrant County is also the highest natural gas producing county in the U.S. and has asked the U.S. Energy Information Administration for confirmation."

Tarrant produced 55.3 billion cubic feet of gas in October, with Johnson County, its neighbor to the south, coming in No. 2 in the state with 43.3 billion cubic feet.
