BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the 3 months ended March 31, 2017, Energen Corporation (NYSE: EGN) reported GAAP net income from all operations of $33.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. Adjusting for a non-cash gain on mark-to-market derivatives and a small non-cash impairment loss, Energen had an adjusted loss in 1Q17 of $(12.4 million), or $(0.13) per diluted share. This compares with an adjusted loss in 1Q16 of $(53.6 million), or $(0.62) per diluted share. [See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on pp 10 for more information and reconciliation.]

Energen’s adjusted 1Q17 per-share loss was less than internal
expectations by $3.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, largely due to
above-budget production and lower-than-expected net salaries and general
and administrative expense (SG&A), partially offset by increased
depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense (DD&A) largely due to
increased volumes and to the timing of exploration expense.
Production in 1Q17 totaled 52.8 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day (mboepd) and exceeded guidance of 50.2 mboepd by 5.2 percent mainly due to the impact of new wells completed with Generation 3 fracs. Total oil production was up 6 percent over guidance largely due to stronger-than-expected oil volumes in the Delaware Basin. Net SG&A expenses were lower due to a variety of cost reductions, including non-cash compensation and legal services.
Energen’s adjusted EBITDAX totaled $95.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2017 and exceeded internal expectations by approximately 15 percent. In the same period a year ago, Energen’s adjusted EBITDAX totaled $44.0 million. [See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on pp 10 for more information and reconciliation.]
Comments from the Chairman
“We are very encouraged by the performance of the wells we have completed with our Generation 3 frac design,” said James McManus, Energen’s chairman and chief executive officer. “For those Gen 3 wells with at least 75 days of production history, cumulative production by formation is outperforming the type curves associated with the highest potential EURs we have identified.
“Since our ranges of EUR outcomes are based on the performance of pre-Gen 3 wells, one of our major goals for Gen 3 fracs is to achieve well results that meet or surpass the high end of these ranges. We are very excited to see that early results are doing just that.”

Operations Update
During the first quarter, Energen turned to production 10 gross (9 net) wells drilled in Glasscock County in the central Midland Basin and 2 gross (2 net) wells in the Delaware Basin. All 12 of these wells were part of Energen’s DUC inventory at YE16. The company set casing on 19 gross (17 net) wells in the first quarter. The company operated an average of 6.5 horizontal drilling rigs in the first quarter and an average of 6 frac crews.
Drilling efficiencies continued in the first quarter, with two new “internal best times” for days to drill from spud to total depth. In only 15 days, Energen drilled a 9,856-foot lateral Wolfcamp B well in the northern Midland Basin; and in just under 15 days, the company drilled a 10,733-foot lateral Middle Spraberry well.
Positive Response to Early Generation 3 Completions
For those Gen 3 wells with at least 75 days of production history, the average cumulative production by formation outperformed the type curves associated with the highest potential EURs identified by the company. Because the ranges of EURs are based on the performance of pre-Gen 3 wells, the company hopes to achieve Gen 3 well results that meet or surpass the high end of these ranges.
Energen’s first two Midland Basin wells utilizing a Generation 3 frac design (the “Tiger Unit” wells) -- continued to respond very well. The average cumulative production of the two Wolfcamp B, stand-alone wells in Martin County exceeded the 1 mmboe type curve for a 7,500-lateral by an average of approximately 20 percent through 165 days. Oil comprised 82 percent of the product mix.
At 75 days of production, five new Glasscock County completions were approximately 15 percent above the 1.3 mmboe EUR type curve for a 10,000’ lateral. Oil comprised 77 percent of the product mix. The company considers this a particularly attractive result since four of the wells are producing from the Wolfcamp B; the fifth well is producing from the Wolfcamp A. The five wells had an average 24-hour IP of 1,684 boepd (74% oil) and peak 30-day average of 1,465 boepd (74% oil); their average completed lateral length was 9,541’.
Cumulative production from the Checkers St. 54-12-21 701H well in the Delaware Basin continued to outperform the 2.0 mmboe EUR type curve for a 10,000’ lateral length by 6 percent through 195 days. The Checkers St. well is producing from the Wolfcamp B interval in Reeves County. Oil comprised 55 percent of the product mix.
The two Delaware Basin wells placed on production in the first quarter were 4,600 foot laterals; normalized to 10,000 feet, these two wells averaged 80 percent above the 2.0 mmboe EUR type curve for a 10,000’ lateral through 80 days. Oil comprised 61 percent of the product mix. The two Delaware Basin wells had an average 24-hour IP of 2,033 boepd (62% oil) and peak 30-day average of 1,825 boepd (60% oil); their average completed lateral length was 4,654’.
2017 Capital and Operating Overview
Energen estimates that it will invest an additional $60-$65 million in 2017 for 4 more gross completions and to participate in an additional 2.8 net non-operated wells, for increased working interests, and for facilities. Since the end of 1Q17, Energen has seen rising pressure on the costs of a wide variety of completion services; without off-setting efficiencies or other savings, the company estimates that it could see capital spending for drilling and development increase another $45-$50 million.
The company’s revised capital budget of $850-$900 million for drilling and development activities supports completion of 128 gross/118 net operated wells, including 124 gross/115 net horizontal wells. All horizontal wells are scheduled to be completed with a Generation 3 frac design.
Horizontal completions include 61 gross/60 net wells drilled but not completed (DUC) at year-end 2016 and 63 gross/55 net horizontal wells that are scheduled to be drilled and completed in 2017 with the company’s 6- to 7-rig drilling program. Another 24 gross/22 net horizontal wells are set to be drilled and awaiting completion at year end. Energen also plans to drill 7 gross/6 net vertical wells in the Midland Basin and complete 4 gross/3 net of them.
Energen’s non-operated opportunities have increased, and the company has agreed to participate in a total of 4 net wells. Such opportunities are difficult to predict and, therefore, are not budgeted until the company has visibility on an operator’s plans.

Note: Totals in production tables above may not sum due to rounding.
Estimated 2017 production of 66.3 mboepd reflects a 1 percent increase
over prior guidance as a result of 1Q17 actual results. Production
guidance for the remainder of the year is unchanged and reflects
estimated production with Generation 2 fracs. Given that all wells
completed in 2017 will use the Generation 3 frac design, if the
associated production response continues to be positive, year-over-year
production growth could be higher than the current estimate of 21
percent. Oil is expected to comprise 65 percent of the company’s total
production mix in 2017, with natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas
production estimated to make up 17 percent and 18 percent, respectively.

Hedges
For the remaining 9 months of 2017, approximately 68 percent of the company’s estimated oil production of 12.8 MMBOE is hedged as well as 46 percent of its estimated NGL production and 59 percent of its natural gas production. Hedges also are in place that limit the company’s exposure to the Midland to Cushing oil differential. Energen has hedged the WTI Midland to WTI Cushing (sweet oil) differential for 7.6 million barrels at an average price of $(0.64) per barrel. Energen estimates that approximately 86 percent of its oil production for the remainder of the year will be sweet.
Energen’s total oil hedge position for the remainder of 2017 is as follows:

Basis Differentials and Sensitivities
The company’s average realized prices will reflect commodity and basis hedges; oil transportation charges of approximately $2.00 per barrel in the last nine months of CY17 ($2.03 per barrel in 2Q17), NGL transportation and fractionation fees of approximately $0.13 per gallon for the remainder of the year ($0.13 per gallon in 2Q17), and gas and oil basis differentials applicable to unhedged production. In addition, natural gas and NGL production is subject to a percent of proceeds contract of approximately 85%.
The assumed gas basis for all open contracts for the remainder of 2017 is $(0.40) per Mcf, and assumed prices for unhedged Midland to Cushing basis differentials for sweet and sour oil are $(1.30) and $(1.85), respectively. Energen’s assumed commodity prices for unhedged production for the last nine months of 2017 are: $52.00 per barrel of oil, $0.60 per gallon of NGL, and $3.30 per Mcf of gas (May-December).

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS: The SEC permits oil and gas companies to disclose in SEC filings only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. Outside of SEC filings, we use the terms “estimated ultimate recovery” or “EUR,” reserve or resource “potential,” “contingent resources” and other descriptions of volumes of non-proved reserves or resources potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques. These estimates are inherently more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized. We have not risked EUR estimates, potential drilling locations, and resource potential estimates. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered may differ substantially from estimates. We make no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations that have been attributed these quantities. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of our on-going drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling, and production costs, availability of drilling and completion services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, regulatory approvals, and geological and mechanical factors. Estimates of unproved reserves, type/decline curves, per-well EURs, and resource potential may change significantly as development of our oil and gas assets provides additional data. Additionally, initial production rates contained in this news release are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels.
Financial, operating, and support data pertaining to all reporting periods included in this release are unaudited and subject to revision.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
|||||||
Adjusted Net Income is a Non-GAAP financial measure (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles) which excludes the effects of certain non-cash mark-to-market derivative financial instruments. Adjusted income from continuing operations further excludes impairment losses, certain prior period pension settlement expenses and losses associated with a reduction in force, and income associated with divestitures. Energen believes that excluding the impact of these items is more useful to analysts and investors in comparing the results of operations and operational trends between reporting periods and relative to other oil and gas producing companies. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
|||||||
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) is a Non-GAAP financial measure (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles). Adjusted EBITDAX from continuing operations further excludes impairment losses, certain non-cash mark-to-market derivative financial instruments, prior period pension settlement expenses and losses associated with a reduction in force, and losses associated with divestitures. Energen believes these measures allow analysts and investors to understand the financial performance of the company from core business operations, without including the effects of capital structure, tax rates and depreciation. Further, this measure is useful in comparing the company and other oil and gas producing companies. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
|||||||||||||||||||
The consolidated statement of income excluding certain divestments is a Non-GAAP financial measure (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles). Energen believes excluding information associated with divestitures provides analysts and investors useful information to understand the financial performance of the company from ongoing business operations. Further, this information is useful in comparing the company and other oil and gas producing companies operating primarily in the Permian Basin. |
