Uinta Basin Oil Volumes Face Reduction Due to Takeaway Constraints
What happened
Oil volumes in the Uinta Basin are being impacted by takeaway constraints. The third quarter saw a 4,000 barrel per day reduction in oil volumes, attributed to transitory Uinta takeaway constraints and Permian downtime for compliance work. Full-year oil guidance has been reduced by 1% to between 220,000 and 222,000 barrels per day.
