19 Producers in the Basin Remain Committed to Permian Drilling "If you look at my comments and the plans, we're now forecasting that the Permian production will reach about a million barrels a day by 2027, so very much in line going all the way back to 2018 and then the comments that we made around the pandemic and the delay that was introducing. "...that's roughly a 13% compounded annual growth rate."" "Looking back at last year, we produced over 223,000 barrels of oil per day, exceeding our production expectations. This is primarily the result of our well performance, which continues to trend in the right direction as our normalized oil production in the Midland Basin improved by 6% y-over- y and nearly 20% when compared to 2020." "Our Lower 48 plan will deliver production in that mid-single digits, with the majority of that growth weighted to the Permian." Source: 4Q 2022 Earnings Call Transcripts/Press Releases Crude Supply/Export The company's investments increased by more than 75 percent from 2021, and annual U.S. production increased to 1.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, led by 16 percent growth in Permian Basin unconventional production.
