The revision does not affect the EIA's historical estimated crude oil production in the Permian because "operators had already submitted their crude oil production to states," the EIA said.
It estimates Permian crude oil production in 2022 averaged 5.3 million barrels per day (bpd).
The EIA's updated count puts its Permian shale basin DUC well count at year-end 2022 at 1,069, up from 843 wells previously.
As of April, the EIA estimates 910 DUC wells in the Permian.
The EIA also increased its estimate of 2022 well completions in the Permian to 5,704 wells from 5,328 wells completed.
