(Reuters) - U.S. oil production will grow to exceed 14 million barrels per day and then plateau, ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance forecast on Tuesday.

Output in the top U.S. shale field, the Permian basin of West Texas and New Mexico, will rise between 300,000 bpd and 400,000 bpd this year, he said in remarks at the CERAWeek energy energy conference.

Construction of the company's $8 billion Alaskan oil development project, called Willow, is fully underway and will take four years to complete, he said.

Latest results from oil and gas companies including Chevron and TotalEnergies reflect a sharp downturn in natural gas prices after a warmer than usual Northern Hemisphere winter cut demand and pushed up inventories. Exxon, which is in the process of closing a $60 billion deal for top shale oil producer Pioneer Natural Resources, posted lower first-quarter earnings of $8.22 billion, down from an $11.43 billion net profit a year ago.
