Production from major U.S. shale plays is expected to rise this month, largely driven by an anticipated increase in Permian Basin output.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts U.S. oil output will rise 66,000 bbl/d sequentially to 8.135 million bbl/d in the seven key U.S. shale regions, with Permian volumes expected to reach 4.826 million bbl/d in October.
“On a year-over-year basis, only the Permian is expected to see an increase, with volumes up 503,150 bbl/d, or 12%,” wrote Enverus’ Erin Faulkner in a Sept. 14 research note.
On the tail of much needed production growth, asset sales in the Permian Basin have jumped as shale producers and private-equity firms seize on a sizzling recovery in oil prices to buy companies or secure new drilling prospects.
Real Insights in the Heart of the Basin
