Oxy’s Permian output slump drives millions in midstream losses

The decline in Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s oil production in Permian Basin has left company with so much unused capacity on pipelines to the Gulf Coast that the problem will drive a midstream loss of as much as $750million this year. Occidental said Tuesday that total Permian production is expected to be about 485,000barrels of oil equivalent a day this year, well short of the 800,000barrels of pipeline space it’s committed to.

Flaring, which plunged in 2020 as the pandemic forced shale producers to curtail output, is set to rebound as oil prices recover.

US oil production, owing to its Permian Base, has set a new benchmark for oil production, and the US is soon expected to become the top producer of ‘black gold’. A huge number of rigs operating in the West Texas and New Mexico oil fields are pumping out crude day in, day out. Innovative technologies have permitted new wells to produce far more oil today than a few years ago.
