Updated 2020 Outlook
While commodity prices remain low and uncertainties associated with the impacts of COVID-19 continue, in certain areas of Targa’s operations like the Permian Basin, production from wells that were previously shut-in during the second quarter has largely resumed. Assuming crude oil prices average $40 per barrel WTI, NGL prices average $0.40 per gallon, and Henry Hub and Waha natural gas prices average $2.00 and $1.50 per million British Thermal unit, respectively and the Company’s current best estimates for a range of volume outcomes through the second half of 2020, Targa is increasing the low end of its previously provided 2020 Adjusted EBITDA outlook and now estimates full year Adjusted EBITDA to be between $1.5 billion to $1.625 billion.
