BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

For the 3 months ended June 30, 2016, Energen Corporation EGN reported GAAP net income from all operations of 36.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Excluding mark-to-market derivatives losses, income from the sale of properties, and pension and reduction in force (RIF) settlement expenses, Energen's adjusted loss in 2Q16 totaled $27.1 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share. This compares with adjusted income in 2Q15 of $11.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

The variance between the periods primarily is due to lower realized commodity prices partially offset by less depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (DD&A), lower net salaries and general and administrative expenses (SG&A), and lower lease operating, marketing and transportation expenses (LOE).

Energen's adjusted 2Q16 loss was substantially better than internal expectations largely due to significantly lower-than-expected LOE and better-than-expected production. LOE, including marketing and transportation, totaled $7.29 per boe and benefited largely from lower costs for water disposal, gathering, and electrical power, and from fewer workovers.

Production in 2Q16 totaled 56.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day (mboepd) and exceeded the production guidance midpoint of 53.9 mboepd by 3.9 percent. Oil production was up almost 5 percent relative to the guidance midpoint. Actual and guidance production numbers exclude all 2016 property sales (closed and pending). The production increase was driven primarily by the outperformance of the company's Midland Basin horizontal plays, which are responding favorably to the Generation 2 frac design used to complete Energen's drilled but uncompleted (DUC) well inventory in the first half of 2016.

Energen's adjusted EBITDAX totaled $82.3 million in the 2nd quarter of 2016 and exceeded internal expectations by 30 percent. In the same period a year ago, Energen's adjusted EBITDAX totaled $169.8 million. [See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on pp 9 for more information and reconciliation.]

2H16 Drilling Program Under Way in Permian Basin

Drilling is under way in the Midland and Delaware basins as Energen looks to end 2016 with 54-58 net DUCs that will be available for completion in 2017. Energen estimates that capital investment associated with drilling and development activity in 2016 will be approximately $450 million. In addition to drilling and development, Energen has invested approximately $37 million in 2016 (through July 31) to acquire acreage and renew leases, including adding more than 4,500 net acres in the core Delaware and Midland basins through bolt-on acquisitions. In July alone, Energen added 851 net acres in its core Delaware Basin footprint.

The majority of the new drills in 2H16 in the Midland Basin will be 10,000-plus foot lateral-length wells in Martin County targeting the Jo Mill, Middle Spraberry, Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp A and B. The average working interest in the new drills is estimated to exceed 97 percent. Energen anticipates completing these new Midland Basin DUCs in the first half of 2017 using a new generation frac design with more sand per linear foot and tighter frac stages (MB Generation 3). [See 2Q16 Supplemental Slides at www.energen.com for the company's evolution in frac design.]

In the core central Delaware Basin, new drills will focus on the Wolfcamp A and B in Reeves and Loving counties, and all but two potential DUCs will have an average lateral length in excess of 9,500'. Energen's average working interest in the new drills in the Delaware Basin is approximately 100 percent. The new DUCs to be completed in 2017 likely will utilize a new generation frac design (DB Generation 3) and optimized surface facilities. [See 2Q16 Supplemental Slides at www.energen.com for the company's evolution in frac design.]

At year-end, the company estimates that it will have approximately 38-40 gross (37-39 net) horizontal DUCs in the Midland Basin, 1 (gross and net) vertical DUC in the Midland Basin, and 17-19 (gross and net) horizontal DUCs in the Delaware Basin.

Energen Sees Attractive EURs in the Core Central Delaware Basin

Energen's decision to allocate increasing amounts of capital in its core Delaware Basin is the result of strong performances by 5 wells it drilled in the core and from approximately 20 wells drilled by offset operators as well as from the expectation of continued efficiency gains. All of these factors have combined to support outstanding internal rates of return (IRRs) in the Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B in the core Delaware Basin, with expected ultimate recoveries (EURs) estimated to approach 1.1 mmboe for a 4,500' lateral, 1.5 mmboe for a 7,500' lateral, and 2.0 mmboe for a 10,000' lateral.

The 377-day average cumulative production of the 5 Energen Wolfcamp wells, normalized to 7,500', is closely tracking the 1.5 mmboe EUR type curve. These Reeves County wells have been producing for approximately 12-24 months, and include Wolfcamp A, B, and C targets. The majority of them were completed with the DB Generation 1 frac design. [See 2Q16 Supplemental Slides at www.energen.com for graph of average cumulative production of the 5 wells and for details on the company's evolution in frac design.]

Energen has increased its estimated IRRs for 7,500' and 10,000' lateral-length Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B wells in its core Delaware Basin as the result of increasing flow rates primarily by optimizing surface facilities. The return for a 10,000' lateral-length well drilled and completed for $8 million at a $45 oil price is now estimated to be 86 percent. [See 2Q16 Supplemental Slides at www.energen.com for estimated Delaware Basin Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B IRRs at varying oil prices.]

Energen currently is drilling its fourth well to hold acreage in the core Delaware Basin footprint; three of these wells will be completed in 3Q16 and the fourth well is scheduled to be completed in 4Q16. These four wells utilize optimized surface facilities and will be completed with the DB Generation 3 frac design.

Underscoring the strides it continues to make in drilling efficiency in the Delaware Basin, Energen drilled one of these wells -- a 9,000' lateral well targeting the Wolfcamp A -- in just 22.4 days from spud to TD and estimates the drill and complete cost will be $7.2 million.

Midland Basin Development Program Outperforms

Energen completed its remaining DUC inventory of 14 gross (14 net) net wells in the Midland Basin during the second quarter. Together with 15 wells completed in the first quarter but not yet on production, Energen placed on production in the second quarter a total of 24 DUCs: 22 in Martin County targeting the Lower Spraberry, Wolfcamp A, and Wolfcamp B zones and 2 in Glasscock County targeting the Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B. The lateral length of the Martin County wells placed on production averaged approximately 6,700 feet, and the Glasscock County wells had an average lateral length of approximately 7,600 feet.

Based on early production results, these wells are outperforming internal expectations due, in large part, to the company's MB Generation 2 completions. In Martin County, for example, 6 Lower Spraberry DUCs with more than 60 days of productive history are averaging a 900 mboe EUR estimate. In their first 90 days of production, the 9 Glasscock County DUCs completed in 1H16 have outperformed the type curve.

As strong as production has been, the full extent of the Martin County DUCs' performance was hampered in June when the salt water disposal facility servicing that area was damaged by lightning. This caused a temporary interruption in production. Intermittent storm-related power outages also were experienced in Martin and Glasscock counties in July. The direct impact of weather on annual production is estimated to be less than 500 boepd.

Efficiency gains continue to be realized in the Midland Basin, where Energen drilled a 7,500' Wolfcamp A DUC in Glasscock County in 13.1 days, spud to TD; the well was completed in 1H16 with MB Generation 3 frac design for $5.2 mm.

LOE per boe in CY16 is estimated to range from $5.95-$6.35 in the Midland Basin, $8.25-$8.65 in the Delaware Basin, and $17.20-$17.60 in the Central Basin Platform. Production and ad valorem taxes in CY16, as a percent of revenues excluding hedges, are estimated to be 7.0 percent in the Midland Basin and Central Basin Platform and 8.4 percent in the Delaware Basin.

Net SG&A per boe in CY16 (excluding pension settlement and RIF settlement expenses) is estimated to be comprised of cash of $3.50-$3.70 per boe and non-cash, equity-based compensation of $0.85-$1.00 per boe.

Production is estimated to range from 55.2-55.6 mboepd in 3Q16 and from 52.0-52.4 mboepd in 4Q16. The company's 4Q15 to 4Q16 exit rate decline continues to shrink and now is estimated (at midpoint) to be 8 percent. The production guidance midpoint for the year has been increased approximately 2%, or some 900 boepd, within a range of 53.6-54.4 mboepd. For all applicable periods, production excludes 2016 asset sales.

In the tables above, basin-specific contract prices for natural gas have been converted for comparability purposes to a NYMEX-equivalent price by adding to them Energen's assumed basis differentials.

Estimated Price Realizations (pre-hedge):

        3Q16     CY16
Crude oil (% of NYMEX/WTI)       93%     90%
NGL (after T&F) (% of NYMEX/WTI)       28%     29%
Natural gas (% of NYMEX/Henry Hub)       79%     78%
 

Average realized prices will reflect commodity and basis hedges; oil transportation charges of approximately $2.19 per barrel; NGL transportation and fractionation fees of approximately $0.12 per gallon; 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%.

Energen's assumed commodity prices for unhedged production for the remainder of the year are: $45.00 per barrel of oil (July-December); $0.49 per gallon of NGL (July-December), and $2.80 per Mcf of gas (August-December). Assumed prices for unhedged Midland to Cushing basis differentials for sweet and sour oil (August-December) are $(0.45) and $(0.90), respectively. And assumed gas basis assumptions for all open contracts (August-December) are $(0.13) per Mcf.

Relative to the company's price assumptions: every $1.00 per barrel change in the price of oil for the remainder of the year is estimated to impact the company's cash flows by approximately $1.7 million; every $0.01 per gallon change in the average price of NGL for the remainder of the year is estimated to have an impact of approximately $0.6 million; and every $0.10 per Mcf change in the price of natural gas for the remainder of the year is estimated to have an impact of approximately $0.4 million.

2017 Hedge Position Strengthened

Energen continued to increase its 2017 oil hedge position in the second quarter by adding 3-way collars for 1.1 million barrels of oil production at an average call price of $65.67 per barrel, an average put price of $45 per barrel, and an average short put price of $35 per barrel. This brings the company's total oil volumes hedged in 2017 to 8.2 million barrels.

Energen's total oil hedge position for 2017 is as follows:

Oil       2017 Hedge Volumes¹     Avg. NYMEX Price
Swaps       4.1 mmbo     $ 47.97 per barrel
Three way Collars²       4.1 mmbo      
Call Price             $ 62.25 per barrel
Put Price             $ 45.00 per barrel
Short Put Price             $ 35.00 per barrel

¹ Hedges are distributed equally throughout the year by month
² When the NYMEX price is above the call price, Energen receives the call price; when the NYMEX price is between the call price and the put price, Energen receives the NYMEX price; when the NYMEX price is between the put price and the short put price, Energen receives the put price; and when the NYMEX price is below the short put price, Energen receives the NYMEX price plus the difference between the put price and the short put price.

Energen also added 2.4 Bcf of Permian Basin-specific contracts to its 2017 natural gas hedge position at an average contract price of $3.00 per Mcf. This brings Energen's total natural gas hedge position in 2017 to 13.2 Bcf of basin-specific gas at an average contract price of $2.85 per Mcf. Assuming a $0.15 per Mcf differential, the company's NYMEX-equivalent price for its 2017 natural gas hedges is $3.00 per Mcf.

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.

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, expenses related to the 2016 reductions in force, certain pension and pension settlement expenses and income and losses associated with 2016 property sales (closed and pending). 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.

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 expenses related to the 2016 reductions in force, certain pension and pension settlement expenses, income and losses associated with  2016 property sales (closed and pending), impairment losses and certain non-cash mark-to-market derivative financial  instruments. 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 2016 property sales (closed and pending) 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.
