US E&P Capital Expenditure Dips in Q422 But To Rise in 2023: EIA

OIL

Capital expenditure for 48 publicly traded US oil producers increased 6% in Q422 compared with 4Q21 to $16.5 billion and decreased 12% compared with 3Q22 according to EIA. Recent cost inflation suggests more capital expenditure spending would be needed today to support similar levels of production compared with past years.

  • In the fourth quarter of 4Q22 US exploration and production companies, who produced 35% of US crude, reported lower cash from operations due to lower crude oil prices.
  • The sum of dividends and share repurchases increased in 4Q22 and remain well above their historical average despite the decline in revenues.
  • Supply chain constraints appear to be easing, but cost inflation remains an issue with EIA expecting capital expenditure for these E&P companies will continue to increase in 2023.
