Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on PDC Energy (NASDAQ: PDCE) but cut its price target to $34.00 (from $36.00).

"We are lowering our target price $2 to $34 per share due to our expectation that 2H12 production will be 7% below prior guidance," said analyst John Gerdes.

"The production revision is attributable to elevated Wattenberg field gathering line pressure resulting from third-party midstream capacity limitations. Unfortunately, PDC's Wattenberg field production is likely to experience midstream constraints until the 110 Mmcfpd LaSalle plant commences operation in mid '13," said Gerdes.

Canacccord Genuity's lower production outlook is not related to well/reservoir performance.
