Forward Guidance
Q1 activity levels thus far are down compared to Q4, with the U.S. rig count declining by 30 rigs since the end of 2022. Additionally, Nine lost between 1-5 days of operations, depending on the service line, to inclement weather requiring us to carry the cost of labor with no matching revenues. As a result of this, we expect Q1 revenue to be slightly down sequentially to Q4.
Positive Outlook
- Total U.S. E&P capex is anticipated to increase by double digits over 2022.
- Operators will need to drill more wells to keep production flat.
- Oilfield service equipment and labor availability remain constrained.
- The sector is adopting capital discipline.
- Nine is well positioned to take advantage of this sustained cycle with both geographic and service line diversity.
