PR Newswire

DENVER, Aug. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Barrett Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: BBG) reports second quarter of 2016 financial and operating results, including these highlights:

  • Production sales volumes of 1.6 MMBoe (64% oil), representing an 18% sequential increase compared to the first quarter of 2016 and exceeded second quarter guidance by 14%
  • Raised the low end of 2016 production guidance to 5.9-6.2 MMBoe despite the sale of non-core Uinta Basin assets
  • Capital expenditures of $15.6 million compared to second quarter guidance of $30-$35 million
  • 2016 planned capital expenditure range reduced to $75-$100 million from $90-$135 million as a result of continued cost control; represents a 30% decrease from the mid-point of original guidance; expect to be cash flow positive for 2016
  • DJ Basin oil price differential narrowed to $4.82 per barrel, representing a 14% sequential improvement
  • LOE averaged $5.28 per Boe, representing an 18% sequential improvement
  • LOE guidance lowered to $31-$34 million from $33-$36 million to reflect cost reductions and the sale of higher operating cost properties in the Uinta Basin
  • Exited the second quarter of 2016 with over $100 million of cash (pro forma for Uinta Basin asset sale of $30 million that closed in July) and an undrawn credit facility of $335 million
  • Debt exchange reduced net debt by $84.7 million or 12% and annual interest expense burden by approximately $6.5 million or 11%

Chief Executive Officer and President Scot Woodall commented, "Executing on the items within our control is paying off as we reported very good second quarter results that were paced by production volumes that were 18% higher than the first quarter and capital expenditures and operating costs that were below expectations. We recognized a significant reduction in well costs during the first half of the year, allowing us to cut our capital expenditure outlook for the second time this year. We are raising the low end of our production outlook despite the loss of production associated with the sale of non-core Uinta Basin assets. We continue to benefit from having no firm marketing commitments for our oil volumes and achieved a 14% sequential improvement to the first quarter in the pricing of our DJ Basin barrels as regional infrastructure continues to improve. We have maintained positive momentum with respect to reducing costs as a result of increased operating efficiencies and expect per unit LOE to maintain a downward trend. Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, we are monitoring industry conditions to determine the appropriate time to resume drilling operations. Based on our current internal projections and pricing scenarios, we are positioned to be cash flow positive this year even at the high-end of our updated capital range. We remain financially well positioned with a cash position in excess of $100 million (pro forma for the Uinta Basin asset sale), an undrawn credit facility, and a solid hedge position that provides ample liquidity."

Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL") production from the Denver-Julesburg ("DJ") Basin and Uinta Oil Program ("UOP") totaled 1.6 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe") in the second quarter of 2016, which was 18% higher on a sequential basis to the first quarter of 2016 and 14% higher than the Company's guidance of 1.4 MMBoe. Second quarter production exceeded guidance primarily due to initial production from a 16-well drilling and spacing unit ("DSU") located in Section 5-62-22 in NE Wattenberg that began producing earlier than forecast. Lower production sales volumes to the comparable 2015 period were primarily the result of non-core asset sales in the DJ Basin and UOP that were completed during 2015 and 2016.

Second quarter of 2016 production was 64% oil, 20% natural gas and 16% NGLs, which was consistent with guidance.

Cash operating costs (lease operating expense ("LOE"), gathering, transportation and processing costs and production tax expense) averaged $7.85 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $6.81 per Boe in the first quarter of 2016. Lower per unit cash operating costs in the first quarter of 2016 were related to an annual adjustment of Colorado ad valorem tax based on actual assessments and of the related Colorado severance tax credit. Normalized production taxes are expected to approximate 8% of pre-hedge revenue for the remainder of 2016.

LOE averaged $5.28 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016, down 18% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and 25% lower than the second quarter of 2015. LOE for the DJ Basin averaged $3.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $4.80 per Boe in the first quarter of 2016 and $5.84 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015. This was primarily a result of increased operating efficiencies and service cost reductions. Per unit LOE is expected to continue a downward trend following the Uinta Basin asset sale reflecting a higher LOE component associated with the properties.

Uinta Basin Asset Sale

The Company announced on July 14, 2016, that it closed the sale of certain non-core assets located in the Uinta Basin for net cash proceeds of approximately $30 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes and to enhance the Company's liquidity position.

Debt and Liquidity

At June 30, 2016, the principal debt balance was $718.9 million, while cash and cash equivalents were $87.4 million, resulting in net debt (principal balance of debt outstanding less the cash and cash equivalents balance) of $631.5 million. Pro forma for the Uinta Basin asset sale, the Company maintains a cash position in excess of $100 million.

The Company announced on June 2, 2016, that it completed a privately negotiated exchange with a holder of the Company's 7.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). As a result of this transaction, the principal amount of the Notes was reduced by $84.7 million or 21% and net debt by 12%. This transaction will also result in annual interest savings of approximately $6.5 million.

Capital Expenditures

The Company exhibited continued capital discipline during the second quarter of 2016 as capital expenditures ("capex") totaled $15.6 million, which was significantly below the Company's guidance range of $30-$35 million. This was primarily due to the most recent XRL well costs being executed approximately 15% below forecast drilling and completion cost of $4.75 million and the timing of infrastructure related spending and other non-drilling related capital.

Capex included completing 8 XRL wells that began initial flowback operations during the quarter and consisted of $13.9 million for drilling, $0.3 million for leaseholds, and $1.4 million for infrastructure and corporate assets. The Company did not spud any new wells and had minimal capital expenditures associated with the Uinta Basin.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

DJ Basin

  • Produced an average of 14,176 Boe/d, represents an increase of 21% from the first quarter of 2016.
  • Second quarter production benefited from the start up of production from a 16-well DSU, which included 15 XRL wells, located in Section 5-62-22 of NE Wattenberg, which initiated production earlier than forecast.
  • Drilling and completion costs for XRL wells in the first half of 2016 were approximately 15% below forecast costs of $4.75 million, contributing to first half capital expenditures coming in significantly below guidance.
  • Placed 24 wells, including 23 XRL wells, on initial flowback during the second quarter of 2016. The wells are in various stages of producing and ramping up to a peak initial rate. Activity to date has included utilizing several modified drilling and completion concepts to determine the optimal technique.
  • The following DSUs are currently in various stages of production: 
    • Section 6-62-15 - the "Will" DSU is located within the northern area of NE Wattenberg and includes 9 XRL wells. The wells primarily utilized a standard completion design1 except for two wells that incorporated a higher sand concentration of 1,200 pounds of sand per lateral foot. In addition, the DSU includes the initial Niobrara "A" and Niobrara "C" wells drilled on the northern acreage.
    • Section 5-62-22 - the wells are located within the central area of NE Wattenberg and includes 15 XRL wells within a single DSU that began initial flowback in April 2016. The wells primarily utilized the standard completion design, but also incorporated a tighter frac density concept utilizing an 82-stage completion on four wells.
    • Section 4-62-9 - the wells are located within the southern area of NE Wattenberg and includes 8 XRL wells that began initial flowback in June 2016. The wells primarily utilized the standard completion design, but also incorporated a new spacing concept
  • The oil price differential averaged $4.82 per barrel less than WTI, a 14% improvement from the first quarter of 2016 average of $5.61 per barrel and a decrease from the second quarter of 2015 of $8.77 per barrel. The Company's oil pricing continues to benefit from having no firm takeaway capacity commitments as regional infrastructure has improved.
  • As previously announced, due to the uncertainty of a sustained oil price recovery during 2016, the Company elected to curtail drilling activity to preserve capital and released the sole drilling rig that was operating during the first quarter. The Company continues to monitor industry conditions to determine the appropriate time to resume drilling activities during the second half of 2016. 

(1)

Standard completion design includes ~9,500' lateral with plug-and-perf, 55-stage completion, and ~1,000 lbs of sand/lateral foot

Uinta Oil Program

Given the outlook for commodity prices and a focus on its core DJ Basin assets, the Company has curtailed activity in the UOP and did not drill or complete any wells during the second quarter of 2016. Operations continue to be focused on improving operational efficiencies, and associated cost reductions have been realized as a result of lower lease operating costs.

2016 OPERATING GUIDANCE

The Company is providing the following update to its 2016 operating guidance. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

  • Capital expenditures of $75-$100 million, reduced from $90-$135 million, reflecting lower well costs and lower infrastructure related and other non-drilling related capital.
    • Represents a 30% decrease from the mid-point of initial 2016 guidance
    • The low end of guidance assumes that no new XRL wells are drilled.
  • Production of 5.9-6.2 MMBoe, raised the low end of guidance despite the sale of non-core assets in the Uinta Basin.
    • Full-year 2016 guidance reflects the loss of approximately 0.1 MMBoe for the second half of the year associated with the Uinta Basin asset sale
    • Third quarter production sales volumes are expected to approximate 1.5-1.6 MMBoe
  • Lease operating expense of $31-$34 million, decreased from $33-$36 million to reflect cost reductions and the sale of higher operating cost properties in the Uinta Basin
  • General and administrative expenses of $30-$33 million, decreased from $31-$34 million to reflect lower costs in the second half of the year
  • Gathering, transportation and processing costs of $2-$4 million, decreased from $3-$5 million to reflect the sale of properties in the Uinta Basin

COMMODITY HEDGES UPDATE

Generally, it is the Company's strategy to hedge 50%-70% of production on a forward 12-month to 18-month basis to reduce the risks associated with unpredictable future commodity prices to provide certainty for a portion of its cash flow and to support its capital expenditure program.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives are presented herein as separate line

items but are combined for a total commodity derivative gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of

Operations. This separate presentation is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the separate

presentation of the realized and unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses is useful because the

realized cash settlement portion provides a better understanding of the Company's hedge position. The

Company also believes that this disclosure allows for a more accurate comparison to its peers.

Discretionary cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) and EBITDAX are non-GAAP measures. These measures are presented

because management believes that they provide useful additional information to investors for analysis of the Company's ability

to internally generate funds for exploration, development and acquisitions as well as adjusting net income (loss) for certain

items to allow for a more consistent comparison from period to period. In addition, the Company believes that these measures

are widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations

of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, and that many investors use the published research of

industry research analysts in making investment decisions.



These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, net cash

provided by operating activities or other income, profitability, cash flow or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with

GAAP. Because discretionary cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) and EBITDAX exclude some, but not necessarily all, items

that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled

measures of other companies.
