Chairman and chief executive officer Mike Wirth and his team are forecasting that California-based Chevron will exit this year with Permian production of about 900,000 boe/d, a figure projected to grow to 1 million boe/d in 2025. Driving that “strong momentum,” they said, is work to build the company’s inventory of drilled-but-uncompleted (DUC) wells and the planned addition of a fourth fracturing crew to go with its 12 rigs in the basin.

Chevron delivered a record 867,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the fourth quarter and, after a first-half dip in output, aims to pump about 900,000 bpd by year-end and reach 1 million bpd by 2025.
