Operators are set to expand beyond core acreage in 2026, targeting appraisal zones to secure long-term inventory for power generation and LNG exports. Wood Mackenzie’s latest outlook identifies the Western Haynesville, southwest Eagle Ford, and deep Pennsylvania Utica as prime targets for increased wildcatting. While the Western Haynesville is projected to deliver significant volumes by 2035, the industry landscape is increasingly bifurcating into two commodities.
Oil-focused regions face headwinds, with total Lower 48 oil production expected to stall for the first time since the pandemic. Despite this, core Permian zones, including the Delaware and Midland Wolfcamps, are forecast to generate over 50% of U.S. onshore liquids next year. Efficiency gains remain a key driver, allowing operators like Diamondback Energy to maintain output despite a projected drop in the horizontal rig count to below 500.
Conversely, the M&A market is pivoting toward gas-weighted opportunities following a lackluster 2025. International players are expected to enter the fray, seeking physical hedges against LNG export volumes. As Permian-associated gas rises and dedicated gas plays accelerate, the market anticipates a firm floor under long-term pricing, driven by strategic capital chasing supply security.
