EIA refines estimates for Permian tight oil and shale gas production
We added the Avalon, Barnett, Dean, and Woodford plays within the Permian Basin to our estimates by formation for Permian tight oil and shale natural gas production in our March 2026 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
AI Summary
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has refined its estimates for Permian tight oil and shale gas production. This update involves the inclusion of four new formations within the Permian Basin: Avalon, Barnett, Dean, and Woodford. The EIA periodically reviews and updates its play designations based on the latest geologic information. As a result, the agency has added these four formations to its estimates, while removing the Delaware and Yeso-Glorieta plays.
