Diamondback Energy, the largest independent oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin, has warned that the U.S. shale industry may be repeating past mistakes of unsustainable growth. The company plans to limit its own output growth to 2% next year, emphasizing the need for financial discipline over aggressive production expansion.
Diamondback's CFO, Kaesa Van't Hof, cautioned that other companies' focus on lowering break-even costs to justify growth has "gotten this industry in trouble in the past" and may be leading the industry back down a problematic path. The broader shale sector is closely monitored, as rising U.S. production has put pressure on OPEC, leading the cartel to delay a planned production increase. Some producers, such as Matador Resources and ConocoPhillips, have already raised their production guidance, but Diamondback aims to prioritize free cash flow over capital expenditure growth.
