CERAWeek 2025 Insights ExxonMobils expansion in the Permian Basin took center stage during CERAWeek 2025 , where executives highlighted how technology is reshaping operations to maximize efficiency and production. million barrels per day (bpd) accounting for over 16% of the basins total production. energy production, contributing 6.26.3
The Permian Basin is seeing output contraction and rig pullback despite being the top U.S. million bpd ( from 6.57 million bpd in March) Macro Commentary This marks the third consecutive weekly decline in rig activity, driven by oil price pressures and a strategic shift by operators toward shareholder returns over production growth.
The Permian Basin, in particular, saw a notable drop, reaching its lowest rig total since February 2022. While Oklahoma, New Mexico, and several other key states held steady in drilling activity, the national rig count dipped againdriven largely by a sharp decline in natural gas rigs.
Rig Count Drops Again But Production Still Forecast to Rise For the week ending May 16: U.S. bpd in 2024 to 13.4M bpd in 2025 Gas production: Expected to increase to 104.9 bpd in 2024 to 13.4M bpd in 2025 Gas production: Expected to increase to 104.9
Texas and New Mexico, the largest basins, remain flat week-over-week. Key Takeaways This week marks the second week in a row of rig count growth first time since February 2025. Oklahoma is a bright spot with +10 rigs YoY.
Offshore drilling activity increased , with the rig count rising by one to 14. Gas drilling activity could increase in response to a projected rise in gas prices, potentially benefiting gas-heavy basins like the Marcellus and Haynesville. Oklahomas drilling activity was unchanged at 49 rigs , reflecting stable operations in the region.
A third issue for him is that, in basins like the Permian, CCUS projects inject into oil formations that are no longer viable for productionat least, not with todays technology and pricing. Onshore or offshore, the considerations are mostly the same. That reduces your risk greatly if you do that.
