CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Laredo now anticipates capital expenditures for full-year 2020 to be $340 - $350 million and to operate within cash flow, excluding non-budgeted acquisitions. At current service costs and commodity prices, the Company plans to return to a normalized operational cadence of two rigs and one completions crew at the beginning of 2021. Planned activity in 2021 will be focused on the Company's oily, high-return Howard County acreage, with 50 - 55 completions anticipated in 2021. Laredo expects this 2021 activity to be accomplished with total capital expenditures of $325 - $350 million and to generate full-year 2021 oil production of 27.0 - 29.0 MBOPD.
Positive Outlook
- Resume development activities and begin completions operations later in the third quarter.
- Maintain a stable drilling and completions cadence in 2021.
- Operate within cash flow and securing those cash flows with a consistent hedging program.
- Steady completions activity in Howard County, combined with increased commodity prices and hedges in 2021, supports an estimated $120 million in additional cash flow in 2021 and should return our oil production to full-year 2019 levels.
- Focus is on strengthening our balance sheet as we evaluate acquisition and deleveraging opportunities and improving our debt-to-equity ratio.
Challenges Ahead
- The macro environment during the second quarter of 2020 was unprecedented in its difficulties for the energy industry.
- Commodity prices suffered from historic declines amid COVID-19 related demand destruction.
- OPEC+ pricing and supply decisions dramatically reduced expected returns on capital investments.
- Early production results were restrained by the sizing of field infrastructure built by the previous operator.
- As the Company transitions to Howard County, unit LOE is expected to increase moderately as utilization of ESP's for artificial lift is preferred to optimize the oilier production from these wells.
