Forward Guidance
Northern projects production of 22,500 - 30,000 Boe per day in Q3 and 30,000 - 40,000 Boe per day in Q4. Total capital expenditures are expected to be $50 - $75 million in the second half of 2020.
Positive Outlook
- Production curtailments will continue to subside.
- Completion activity will steadily increase starting late in the fourth quarter of 2020.
- Production approaching 40,000 Boe per day by early 2021, nearing volume levels seen in early 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow at similar or higher levels to 2020, despite lower hedge values at recent strip prices.
- Continued success on the ground game front, which continues to build the number of wells in process to near record levels.
Challenges Ahead
- Significant uncertainty remains and actual results will be driven by the timing of curtailments and shut-ins returning to sales.
- Completed wells turned to sales and wells in process being completed and producing.
- Downside case assumes a slower WIP completion pace and little new drilling activity.
- Potential shutdown of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
- Volatility in the sector
