Concho to cut 2015 spending by about $1 billion in Permian
Concho Resources, the largest Permian purely oil firm, plans roughly $2 billion in 2015 capex, cutting about $1 billion and aiming for 26 rigs. The Midland company shifts from aggressive expansion to tighter cash management as oil prices stay weak. Insiders anticipate more budget cuts across the sector as debt and equity markets restrain tight oil spending in the Permian and other regions. Pioneer Natural Resources also projects growth but weather affects output.
