2023 Guidance
Ovintiv issued its third quarter 2023 guidance and revised its full year guidance. Full year production guidance was increased due to strong well productivity across the portfolio and lower royalty rates in the Montney. Full year capital guidance was decreased due to execution efficiencies and cost savings.

Ovintiv expects capital investment in the third quarter to be the high point for the year as a result of the high level of activity in the Midland Basin assets at the time of acquisition. The Company expects the vast majority of the acquired wells in progress to be on production by year-end. Total company oil and condensate production is expected to average 210 Mbbls/d in the second half of the year, with volumes growing from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. On a combined basis, per unit upstream operating expense and upstream transportation and processing expense are expected to be five percent lower in the second half of the year compared to the original full year 2023 guidance.
2024 Outlook
In 2024, Ovintiv expects to deliver total company average oil and condensate production volumes of greater than 200 Mbbls/d with total capital investment of $2.1 billion to $2.5 billion. The Company’s production profile is expected to normalize by mid-year 2024 with second-half 2024 oil and condensate production stabilizing at 200 Mbbls/d.
