DIAMONDBACK ENERGY, INC. | |
Date: August 5, 2015 | By: /s/ Teresa L. Dick Teresa L. Dick Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer |
Number | Exhibit | ||
99.1 | Press release, dated August 5, 2015, entitled “Diamondback Energy, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial and Operating Results and Updated Guidance for 2015.” |
• | Diamondback’s Q2 2015 production was 30.0 Mboe/d (74% oil), up 68% from 17.8 Mboe/d (75% oil) in Q2 2014. Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) decreased 8% to $7.51/boe from Q1 2015 and nearly 25% from the high in Q4 2014 of $9.79/boe. |
• | As a result of continued improved execution and faster cycle times, Diamondback now expects to complete 60 to 70 gross (49 to 57 net) horizontal wells in 2015. The Company has also raised its production guidance for 2015 from a range of 29.0 to 31.0 Mboe/d to a range of 30.0 to 32.0 Mboe/d. Despite the increased completion activity, the Company continues to expect capital spend in 2015 at the high end of the $400 to $450 million guidance range as well costs are trending below the $6.2 to $6.7 million well cost guidance for a 7,500 foot lateral. |
• | Diamondback continues to decrease drilling times, equating to lower well costs and higher rates of return, as compared to 2014. |
◦ | In Q2 2015, Diamondback drilled an approximately 8,000 foot lateral well in Andrews County in approximately 10 days from spud to total depth (“TD”). |
◦ | Also during Q2 2015, the Company drilled two wells in Martin County with an average lateral length of approximately 8,000 feet in an average of 12 days from spud to TD. |
• | Diamondback continues to test 500 foot inter-lateral spacing with encouraging results. |
◦ | During the second quarter of 2015, Diamondback completed its second test of 500 foot inter-lateral spacing in the Lower Spraberry. The ST W 4301LS and the ST W 4302LS have an average lateral length of 7,640 feet and were completed with an average of 34 stages. The average peak 30-day 2-stream initial production (“IP”) rate of both wells is 1,475 boe/d (89% oil) on electric submersible pump (“ESP”) when normalized to a 7,500 foot lateral, or 197 boe/d per 1,000 feet of lateral. |
◦ | Diamondback is encouraged by the continued strong performance of the ST W 701LS and ST W 702LS, its first test of 500 foot inter-lateral spacing in the Lower Spraberry. These two wells have each produced over 140 Mboe (89% oil on a 2-stream basis) in five months of production. |
◦ | A third test of 500 foot inter-lateral spacing in Spanish Trail will be completed during the third quarter of 2015. |
◦ | Diamondback’s inventory continues to reflect 660 foot inter-lateral spacing in the Lower Spraberry. |
• | During the second quarter of 2015, Diamondback placed on production the Kimberly 714LS, its first horizontal Lower Spraberry test in southwest Martin County. This well has a 7,472 foot lateral and was completed with 32 frac stages. This well achieved an average peak 30-day 2-stream IP rate of 1,001 boe/d (87% oil) on ESP when normalized to a 7,500 foot lateral. |
• | Since the second half of 2014, Diamondback has tested increased proppant per stage in three horizontal completions. The wells had an average of 1,900 lbs. of sand per foot versus 1,300 lbs. per foot in the Company’s standard completions. These three wells in Spanish Trail are outperforming offset completions by an average of 15-20% for a similar increase in cost. The Company is encouraged by initial results and plans additional testing this year. |
• | During the second quarter of 2015, the Company drilled its first operated triple stacked lateral targeting the Lower Spraberry, Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B. This test includes the Company’s first operated Wolfcamp A well in Spanish Trail. The three wells are currently flowing back. They have an average lateral length of 7,380 feet. The Company plans to strategically test stacked laterals in other areas. |
• | The Company completed the purchase of acreage primarily located in Howard County in late June. In early July 2015, Diamondback completed the sale of an approximate average 1.5% overriding royalty interest in certain of this acreage to subsidiary Viper Energy Partners LP (“Viper”) for $31.1 million. |
