United States of America (USA) Permian Basin Oil and Gas Shale Market Analysis and Forecast, 2021-2026

Pages: 49 Published: July 01, 2022 Report Code: GDGE0413MAR

The USA Permian Basin crude oil and condensate production capacity is 5,055 mbd while the natural gas production capacity is 19,891 mmcfd in 2022.

The Permian Basin is the largest oil-producing shale play in the US. As it is majorly located in Texas, it benefits from the dense network of oil and gas pipelines in the state as well as access to downstream infrastructure along the Gulf Coast. In 2022, oil production from the play observed a remarkable turnaround after witnessing a considerable drop during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rising oil prices could provide additional encouragement for Permian drillers to deploy more drilling and completion crew and drive production further north. However, lingering supply chain disruptions, such as difficulty in obtaining the required steel, sand, and oilfield workers continue to limit production growth in the region.
