Additionally, it closed a $83-million sale of non-operated Permian basin assets to a private buyer on April 22. These divestments have led to an update in Crescent's full-year 2025 outlook. The company reaffirmed plans to operate a flexible 4-5 rig program and adjusted its production guidance from 254,000-264,000 boe/d to 251,000-261,000 boe/d.
