NEW YORK, April 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Permian basin has not seen peak production, and increases in output from the region will help to offset production declines in other basins going forward, said Occidental Petroleum Chief Executive Vicki Hollub on Wednesday. Crude output in the Permian basin in Texas and New Mexico, the biggest U.S. shale oil basin, is expected to rise to 5.62 million barrels per day this month, according to estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
