  The U.S. crude futures front-month contract for September delivery that expires this afternoon slips 0.3% to $80.45 a barrel, while the soon-to-be-front-month October contract slides below the $80 mark, down 0.4% at $79.83.  Brent crude also slips, down 0.5% at $84.04.

  
  

  A retreat today would mark the second straight loss for WTI. 

  
  

  The price declines come as some analysts are expecting this week's EIA inventory data, due tomorrow, will show a bearish, week-on-week increase in US crude-oil inventories as China slows down its imports just as US refineries move toward fall maintenance season and thus slow down their crude intake rate.

  Near term, Permian Resources plans to let the Midland Basin asset decline under a one-rig program. Free cash flow generated from the Midland Basin will be reinvested into projects in the Delaware with higher returns.
  
  But over time, there could be opportunities for Permian Resources to explore strategic alternatives for the Midland Basin asset.
  
  “This is a Delaware Basin company,” Permian Resources co-CEO James Walter said on the call. “That’s how we think about the focus going forward.”
  
  “That’s not something we’re doing at the present time or plan to do so immediately,” Walter said. “But I think over time, we’d obviously explore if there are ways to extract additional value from the Midland Basin.”
