Chevron CEO Mike Wirth discusses how US energy dominance ties to national security while praising Trump-era policies.

Chevron CEO applauds Trump administration’s energy policy shift during Permian Basin tour

In an exclusive conversation with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo during a tour of the Permian Basin, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said America’s vast energy resources are not just an economic advantage – but also a matter of national defense – while praising President Donald Trump’s energy initiatives.

“Energy security and national security are linked,” Wirth said in a preview of his interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” which will air in full on “Mornings with Maria” Monday.

“The U.S. is blessed with an abundance of natural resources,” he continued. “And we now have an administration that wants to see the energy industry invest in those resources to make sure that America’s energy strength translates into economic strength and competitiveness and, importantly, security.”

ExxonMobil currently produces 1.5M bpd from its Permian Basin holdings, with plans to increase that to 2.3 million barrels per day by 2030.

ExxonMobil targets 2.3 million barrels a day in Permian by 2030

ExxonMobil officials, like all other oil and gas producers, are closely watching the current economic climate. The company recently announced a reduction of 2,000 jobs — none in the U.S. — as part of a long-term restructuring plan.

“We are worried about prices,” said Rich Dealy, vice president, Permian Basin, with ExxonMobil.

Addressing Hart Energy’s Dug Permian conference, he continued, “Our depth of inventory is impressive even at current prices.”

Texas approves major grid plan for the Permian Basin, including potential first-ever 765-kV lines to meet soaring demand.

Texas approves $13.8B plan for Permian Basin grid

USA, Texas: Texas regulators have approved a sweeping reliability plan for the Permian Basin to address soaring electricity demand driven by oil and gas production, data centres, and industrial growth. The plan could see the state’s first 765-kV transmission lines built to import power from other regions, marking a milestone in Texas grid development.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) directed transmission service providers to begin preparing applications for eight new import paths into the Permian Basin– five 345-kV and three 765-kV routes. A final decision on whether to move forward with 765-kV construction is expected by May 1.

“These would be the first 765-kV lines ever built in Texas, and some of the first in the US,” said Doug Lewin, President of Stoic Energy. Commissioner Jimmy Glotfelty added that higher-voltage lines could save $100–300 million annually in congestion costs while reducing line losses and overall route length.

Permian Basin may have smaller, focused deals, but continues to flourish, says Pearl Energy founder Billy Quinn after record consolidation.

Permian thriving on small deals, says Pearl Energy

Despite billions of dollars’ worth of consolidation in the U.S.’ most prolific shale play, the Permian Basin remains thriving at a key place to deploy private equity capital. Portfolio companies can build into successful enterprises ripe for acquisition—but it’s not a job for just anybody.

Hart Energy queried top private equity firms invested in the Permian about what’s next for the most prolific shale play in the U.S. This interview with William J. “Billy” Quinn, founder and managing director at Pearl Energy Investments, is the first in a three-part series.

From 2020–24, 93% of US oil growth came from the 10 counties in Texas and New Mexico, while the rest added just 130K b/d.

Ten Permian Counties Account for 93% of US oil production growth since 2020

Between 2020 and 2024, total crude oil and lease condensate production in the United States Ten Permian Counties. It grew by 1.9 million barrels per day (b/d), 93% of which was produced from just 10 counties in Texas and New Mexico. Production from the rest of the United States, including producing areas in offshore state or federal waters, grew by just 130,000 b/d.

The 10 counties are all within the Permian Basin, a large geologic feature underlying 66 counties in New Mexico and Texas. Two of these counties, Lea and Eddy in New Mexico, accounted for nearly 1.0 million b/d of U.S. production growth (52%) between 2020 and 2024. Martin and Midland in Texas accounted for an additional 0.40 million b/d (21%). Six additional counties in Texas—Andrews, Glasscock, Howard, Loving, Reagan, and Ward—together grew by 0.36 million b/d (19%), based on county-level production data from Enverus.

Since 2019, PSP turned $181M into $1.8B impact, boosting education, health, jobs, and roads in 22 Permian Basin counties.

PSP turns $184M investment into $1.8B community impact in Permian Basin

Since launching in 2019, the Permian Strategic Partnership (PSP) has leveraged $181 million in direct investment into $1.8 billion in community impact, fueling improvements in education, healthcare, workforce development, and road safety across 22 counties of the Permian Basin.

That’s according to the PSP’s 2024 annual report, which also notes that PSP committed nearly $31 million toward those focus areas in 2024 alone.

The PSP is a growing coalition of 27 leading energy companies and two university systems that matches private dollars with public and philanthropic capital to scale projects across the region. The organization’s 2024 report details cumulative investments since 2019 that include $80.1 million in education, $63.4 million in healthcare, $13.7 million in road safety initiatives and life-saving equipment, and $25.8 million in workforce development.

Chevron's new triple-frac method cuts time by 25% and costs by 12% in Permian Basin oil and gas extraction.

New oil and gas extraction technique saves time and money in the Permian Basin

After the oil and gas industry began using hydraulic fracturing in shale plays, it took less than 20 years for the U.S. to go from a net importer of oil to a net exporter of oil. So what’s about this New oil and gas extraction?

“Without hydraulic fracturing, we would not be energy independent right now in the U.S.,” said Jeff Newhook, a general manager of drilling and completions engineering supporting Chevron’s Permian Basin operations.

Now, Chevron is employing an evolution of the technique to hydraulically fracture three wells at once, called triple-frac. In 2024, the company began taking this approach in the Permian Basin. That year, it completed approximately 25 percent of its wells this way.

US crude oil production from onshore federal lands hit a record 1.7M bpd in 2024, according to the EIA and the Department of the Interior.

US onshore oil production soars to record highs

US crude oil production from onshore federal lands hit a record 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2024, according to the EIA and the Department of the Interior. That’s a sixfold jump since 2008—far outpacing the broader rise in national crude output, which nearly tripled to 13.2 million bpd over the same period. The driver? An explosion of activity in New Mexico’s portion of the Permian Basin, where leasing, permitting, and drilling have surged in recent years.

From FY2020 through FY2023, New Mexico accounted for the majority of federal land drilling permits approved and well bores started. The state has quietly become the epicenter of the federal onshore oil boom, combining geological riches with favorable permitting conditions and existing infrastructure.
