*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
We have updated out comprehensive Lower 48 benchmarking analysis with the latest 2020 data. After years of consistently falling, the L48 liquids breakeven cost curve has reached a floor in 2019 and barely moved again this year. The timing of inflection points in cost and productivity trends are the most important drivers. While the entire curve for liquids hasn’t shifted, ownership of the best assets continue to change hands as Permian consolidate accelerates.
