Don't Worry, Be Happy - NGL Markets Relying on the Permian Ask, What If Crude Production Is Peaking?
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
OPEC+ is ramping up production, WTI is hanging below $65/bbl, and Permian crude oil production growth has slowed to a crawl, raising the question of whether oil output in the U.S.’s #1 shale play might, in fact, be peaking. That’s making some folks on the NGL side of things a little skittish. They’re wondering what a leveling off — or an outright decline — in Permian crude production would mean for associated gas and the volumes of Y-grade being piped to Mont Belvieu and other fractionation hubs. In today’s RBN blog, we discuss a new model that forecasts Permian NGL production under a variety of scenarios.
