A couple of weeks ago we took a look at Cabot’s production from Susquehanna County and put the amount into perspective. Today we’re going to continue exploring the production from the Marcellus Shale and how that is translating into energy security for the county, the state and the nation.Let’s take a look at some pretty amazing numbers:Cabot also has 14 out of the top 20 producing wells in the state and 8 of the top ten for the first half of 2012 – all are located in Susquehanna County. In fact, Susquehanna County is one of the most prolific spots in the shale play. Bradford County also has some amazing production numbers.Since December 2010 there has been a 37% increase in the number of productive wells across the Commonwealth. Now that’s a lot of home-grown energy.Even if  you don’t live in a county with productive wells, that doesn’t mean you won’t see the benefits. The surplus of natural gas being produced due to the Marcellus Shale play is translating into extra money in your pockets.From 2008 to 2011 there was a 41.25% rate cut from natural gas utility companies which comes out to an average savings of $3,200 per customer over those three years.Think of all the things you could do with an extra $1,000 each year. And it’s all thanks to natural gas.
