DENVER, Aug. 15 (Korea Bizwire) — Sundance Energy Australia Limited (ASX: SEA) (NASDAQ: SNDE) (“Sundance” or the “Company”), a U.S. onshore oil and gas exploration and production company focused in the Eagle Ford in South Texas, reported its second quarter 2019 financial and operations results today.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results Highlights

  • Second quarter net sales volumes were 1,264,686 boe or 13,898 boe per day, at the top end of the Company’s public guidance. This represents an increase of ~79% as compared to the same period for the prior year. Second quarter sales volumes were ~59% oil, ~22% gas and ~19% NGLs.
  • The higher than expected gas to oil ratio (“GOR”) for the quarter was driven by two primary factors.Total revenue for the quarter increased ~84% to US $52.9 million as compared to the same prior year period.
    • The Dimmit assets, and in specific the two well Red Ranch pad brought online in late first quarter, produced at a ~23% oil cut. Pro Forma for the recently announced Dimmit divestiture expected to close in September 2019, oil would have represented ~62% of total sales volumes.
    • Additionally, the four well Roy Esse pad which was brought online during the quarter produced at the expected oil production rate but overachieved in terms of gas production, further increasing the Company’s second quarter GOR.
  • Net Income attributable to owners of the Company for the period was US $3.8 million. Adjusted EBITDAX1 for the period was US $33.7 million, representing a ~64% Adjusted EBITDAX margin and ~230% growth as compared to the same period for the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDAX1 for the quarter was slightly below the Company’s guidance primarily due to the lower oil cut and the impact of realized NGL and gas prices.
  • Average second quarter realized prices excluding the impact of hedging were US $61.93 per barrel of oil, US $2.08 per mcf of gas, and US $13.59 per barrel of NGL. This represents a US $2.17 per barrel premium compared to an average WTI price of US $59.76 per barrel for the quarter. Average second quarter realized price per boe including the impact of hedges was US $41.70.
  • Sundance continued to drive down cash operating costs during the second quarter. Total Cash Operating Costs2 of US $15.01 per boe improved 35% as compared to the same prior year period and a 16% improvement as compared to the Company’s first quarter 2019 Cash Operating Costs, primarily due to lower cash General and Administrative (“G&A”), Lease Operating Expense (“LOE”) and Workover expenses per boe.As of 1 August 2019, the Company’s oil hedges covered a total of 4,695,000 barrels through 2023. Hedging covered approximately ~8,000 barrels of oil per day for the remainder of 2019 with a weighted average floor of US $60.32 per barrel. These figures represent ~76% of the remainder of 2019 expected oil sales and exclude hedges which have rolled off during the first seven months of 2019.
    • Most notably, LOE of US $5.43 per boe has decreased ~48% as compared to the same prior year period and ~31% as compared to the first quarter 2019.
    • Cash operating costs for the quarter were below guidance of US $17.95 per boe by US $2.94 per boe, or ~16%.
  • Second quarter development and production related expenditures totaled US $44.3 million, below the low end of capital expenditure guidance of US $45-50 million.
  • Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its assets in Dimmit County, TX for a purchase price of USD $29.5 million, subject to customary adjustments at closing. The sale is anticipated to close in September 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Operational Highlights

  • Sundance brought 6.0 gross (6.0 net) wells onto production during the second quarter, including the 4.0 gross (4.0 net) well Roy Esse pad in Live Oak County and the 2.0 gross (2.0 net) well Bracken pad in McMullen County.
  • During the second quarter the Company additionally drilled the 4.0 gross (4.0 net) well HT Chapman pad and the first two wells of the 4.0 gross (4.0 net) well H Harlan Bethune pad in Live Oak County. Year to date the Company’s average spud to rig release time was 11.5 days, an improvement of 33% as compared to 2018 average spud to rig release time of 17.24 days.
  • The Company exited the quarter with 6.0 gross (6.0 net) drilled uncompleted (“DUC”) wells in Live Oak County.
    • The HT Chapman pad was turned to sales on 14 August 2019.
    • Drilling of the final two wells of the H Harlan Bethune pad was finalized and the pad is in the process of being completed as of the date of this report.
  • The Company additionally completed the 4.0 gross (4.0 net) well Georgia Buck pad in Live Oak County but delayed turning those wells to sales and left them temporarily shut in to protect them while an offset operator finalized nearby completion activities.As of the date of this report, the Company was in the process of drilling the 2.0 gross (2.0 net) well Justin Tom pad in Atascosa County. The Justin Tom wells are being drilled with a targeted extended lateral length of 12,900 feet.
    • Subsequent to the quarter’s end, the Georgia Buck wells were turned to sales on 24 July 2019 and through the date of this report averaged >1,100 boe/d per well for peak 24-hour rates with approximately an 85% oil cut.
  • On May 29th, Sundance and its midstream partner completed the previously announced capacity expansion of the CGP-41 gas processing plant through the installation of two additional compressors. This expansion work increased the operating gas processing capacity of the plant to 18 mmcfd, sufficient to handle Sundance’s current production in the CGP-41 area. Subsequent to this expansion, Sundance has begun working with its midstream partner to further expand CGP-41 towards its design capacity to accommodate several years of resource development growth. This second round of expansions is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. Similar to the initial expansion, any such subsequent expansions would be funded by Sundance’s midstream partner up to US $10 million cumulative capital costs.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2019 Guidance Highlights

  • Sundance believes it has reached its peak drawn debt level at the end of Q2 and will be free cash flow positive in the second half of 2019.
  • During the third quarter, the Company anticipates average sales volumes of 14,000 to 14,500 boe per day driven by 12 new Live Oak wells that will produce an average of approximately 30 days per well during the quarter. Sales volumes guidance for full year 2019 remains unchanged at 14,000 to 15,000 boe per day. The Company anticipates an oil cut during the third quarter of ~60% by sales volume.
  • The Company now intends to bring 22 wells online during full year 2019, with certain of those wells being extended reach laterals. During the third quarter, the Company intends to spud 4 total wells and place 12 wells onto production. 
  • Second half capital spending guidance is US $60 to 65 million. Third quarter capital spending represents most of this amount, ranging from US $45 to 60 million pending exact completion timing for the extended reach Justin Toms wells which are the last wells the Company will bring online during 2019.  Full Year Capital cost guidance remains unchanged at US $135 to $155 million.

Additional Information
We define “Adjusted EBITDAX”, a non-IFRS measure, as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, property impairments, gain/(loss) on sale of non-current assets, exploration expense, share based compensation and income, gains and losses on commodity hedging, net of settlements of commodity hedging and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or items that are non-recurring. Management uses Adjusted EBITDAX to facilitate comparisons of its performance between periods and to the performance of its peers.  This non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
