Those were the two I was thinking about. With realized prices and D&C, I do not see that papering or if it does, you're gonna run yourself into a liquidity cliff with current ratio.

With gas prices heading where they are, you'll start to see a drop soon. Especially in the gas/condensate areas. Really interested to see what Comstock and Aethon do in Robertson/Leon area. Imagine they have some wells to put down within the next two years before acreage expirations. $25MM D&C....
$25MM D&C!?!?

Need some monster EUR's on those to make that work. That's rivaling some of the Chalk disasters I've seen in Louisiana these past few years.

There is almost no appetite for someone in this environment to fund capex in excess of cash flow, or cut dividend to fund growth. The problem is most projections did not have gas with a low 3 handle this winter and now you're going to have to make the call to lay down rigs or get creative financially.

You also have the private guys that were scaling that now have to stay within multiples the publics will buy at

I've seen some $16-18MM AFEs.

Stuff doesnt paper and more importantly, will crush near term liquidity. I bet you start seeing a bunch of guys start to get close on current ratios if they have their revolvers meaningful drawn. Just in time for spring bbr.

Agree with cyp on this one. Yes, some may be able to get PDP PV10 but few and far between. A significant amount of assets were on the market in 2022 (to try to take advantage of strip pricing) and yet a very small percentage actually got done because most bids were PDP pv15-30.

Zero offense meant to Detring - they may be able to get you pdp PV10 - but it is way more dependent on your asset quality and the buyers universe for what you are selling than anything they are doing. That slide is advertising for their services, not reality.

They were unable to get us PV30, much less PV10. They being said, this asset was not in the most favorable area. We held it.

Heard a rumor that Matador just bought Ameredev.

Didn't Ameredev merge with Advance, who Matador already announced they're acquiring?

Ameredev managed by Advance team. Smashco a while back.

Did they buy the Ameredev stuff too though? Looks like the acreage they got was just the Advance stuff unless I'm seeing something wrong.

Good question I'm not sure. I just assumed so but maybe they ended selling them in two separate transactions.

Correct. Ameredev was contract operating the Advance assets after the CEO passed away I believe.

Is Patriot the operator that was bordering Chevron's acreage (formerly Noble and CWE before that) there in the southern part of Reeves County?

Yes, Matador got Advance properties only.

1. Freeport LNG still being shut down (politically driven)
2. The El Paso line shut down or whatever is happening blocking a decent amount of offtake from the Permian

But that doesn't seem to explain it really. Must just be a warmer winter.

Too much gas. And warm winter. Other than weather no real relief valves until late '24 when we get more LNG export capacity.

Haynesville will have to slow down. Permian won't so you'll have too much associated gas flowing to gulf. Though pipeline constraints are real out there too.

Weather still matters, warm Europe winter big culprit here.

Freeport will be running wide open next week, I'm told. Rystad report not accurate

Even then 2 BCF/D isn't going to support prices here. We are producing 100 BCF/D so need a significant amount of LNG capacity to open up as well as a massive slowdown in East Tx and PA to see any real change in price.

This is correct and the rest of the winter won't matter much, although it could protect significant downside. Haynesville has to slow and increased capex will help, but there's going to be a ~6 month lag before rigs really start to drop and then another ~6 months before you see supply slow. 2023 could easily see sub $2 gas. Just go model storage numbers and you'll see we can realistically have at/near 4 TCF by late 2023.

Swimming in cash, Chevron plans a $75 billion slap in the face to drivers | CNN Business

Quote:

To be clear: It's not that Chevron, or any of its peers, did anything special to earn their windfall profits last year. There was no big innovation or breakthrough they just got rich off the price of oil shooting up.
Quote:

Buybacks are increasingly common, and controversial (in fact, they were flat-out illegal until 1982).

On one hand it's an easy way for a company to reward shareholders and signal confidence in its own value (after all, what moron would buy shares in a company whose stock is about to go down?). But critics say the practice artificially inflates the stock's value by creating fake demand. Conveniently, it also gooses executive compensation, the vast majority of which comes from stock options.

See here: Chevron, which is expected to report Friday that profits for 2022 doubled to more than $37 billion, is essentially balking at calls from investors and the White House to funnel its extra cash into more drilling capacity to help reduce prices for inflation-weary customers.

Instead, Chevron is buying $75 billion worth of its own shares, and jacking up its quarterly shareholder dividend. That decision prompted rebuke from the Biden administration.

"For a company that claimed not too long ago that it was 'working hard' to increase oil production, handing out $75 billion to executives and wealthy shareholders sure is an odd way to show it," said White House spokesperson Abdullah Hasan.

My very young OFS company is looking to expand and we are very seriously looking at the Haynesville. Before this drop I was thinking the Haynesville would be a relatively safe bet with all the LNG exports. Do y'all think these low prices will have a significant impact on completions in 2024?

Well President Biden, stop using federal agencies to target O&G, stop sitting on leases and permits, and stop subsidizing the competition.

Or F off.

That administration: "We need to move away from fossil fuels."

Also that administration: "We need to produce more fossil fuels."

I'm hearing more and more of frac crews laid down in Haynesville right now. Given D&C cost, I expect you will see stuff start to stop if not a continuous drilling provision.

I expect nat gas completions to go down in all non split stream basins with economics pressure in Eagle Ford and PRB.

1 & (mainly) 2 have been sources of recent perm bullishness if anything since both are seemingly on the verge of being back online relatively soon. 2 is likely weeks away. As was stated before, today's bloodbath was almost entirely weather driven. Models have neutered this latest cold event and that could possibly be the final chapter for this winter.

I think you'll see crews let go, but I don't think it will be a dramatic drop on the completions side unless we have sustained sub $2.50 prices. I know the Haynesville pretty well if you want to leave contact info. Happy to share my opinion.
