Potential Supply of Natural Gas in the United States
The Potential Gas Committee has rolled out its 60th Anniversary report on natural gas resources in the United States in 2025, showing a 16% increase in technically recoverable domestic natural gas resources from the previous biannual report, the largest reported value in its history. The increase shows an industry primed to fuel the economy of the future with abundant domestic supplies to meet growing demand for energy.
The Potential Gas Committee assesses 90 geologic provinces encompassing seven geologic areas with the cooperation and teamwork of geologists from around the nation to provide a meaningful appraisal of the U.S. long-range natural gas supply. According to the report, as of 2025 the U.S. has 3,871 Tcf of total technically recoverable natural gas resources with shale gas accounting for 58% of total natural gas resources. The total U.S. future natural gas supply, including both reserves and resources, stands at a record 4,562 Tcf.
