Plains Sees Permian Crude Production Expanding Up to 300K Y/Y: BBG
- Plains forecasts Permian crude production to grow by 200K to 300k b/d y/y, Chief Executive Officer Willie Chiang says during fourth-quarter earnings call.
- He expects overall basin volumes to rise to ~6.7M b/d by YE 2025.
- Growth in crude oil segment primarily “driven by contributions from bolt-on acquisitions, volume growth and pipeline tariff escalation.”
- The Fort Saskatchewan expansion project is set to come online in 2Q 2025.
- The company is also investing in the Mid-Con to offload crude from the Uinta Wax Basin.
- Plains has been “scenario planning” for tariffs.
- If North American flows are disrupted, the company could “swing and bring volumes from the Permian ultimately into Cushing, pushing into the Mid-Continent north,” Chiang said.
