Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter and Year Ending December 31, 2014 Earnings and Provides an Operational Update and its 2015 Outlook

HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) ("Oasis" or the "Company") today announced financial and operational results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 and provided its 2015 outlook.

2014 Highlights

  • Increased average daily production 35% year-over-year to 45,656 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boepd") in 2014, up from 33,904 Boepd in 2013. Fourth quarter 2014 average daily production of 50,143 Boepd exceeded guidance range of 47,000 to 49,000 Boepd.
  • Completed and placed on production 195 gross (147.4 net) operated wells during 2014, including 48 gross (33.6 net) operated wells in the fourth quarter of 2014. Waiting on completion backlog included 72 gross operated wells as of December 31, 2014.
  • Increased total estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves by 24% to 272.1 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe") at December 31, 2014, compared to year-end 2013 total estimated net proved reserves, excluding the sale of certain non-operated properties in and around the Company's Sanish project area ("Sanish Sale").
  • Grew Adjusted EBITDA by 16% to $952.8 million in 2014, up from $821.9 million in the prior year. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
  • Increased net income by 122% from $228.0 million in 2013 to $506.9 million in 2014, which included a $187.0 million gain on the Sanish Sale.
  • Ended the year with $45.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had total liquidity of $1,040.6 million, including the unused borrowing base committed capacity available under the Company's revolving credit facility.

"Capitalizing on our premier position in the Williston Basin, we have grown volumes by over 35% in 2014, including production in the fourth quarter of 2014 of 50,143 Boepd," said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While we are excited about the strong growth and the potential of our significant inventory position, we have turned our attention to managing the business in light of the current challenging market environment. Due to lower commodity prices, we are rolling out a capital plan for 2015 totaling $705 million, which is 12% lower than the plan we rolled out in early December 2014. Throughout the year, more and more of our capital will be focused in Indian Hills and South Cottonwood, which include our most highly productive inventory and represent over eight years of activity at our current completion pace. We also see the opportunity to further improve returns through enhanced completions, which we expect to represent approximately 60% of our program in 2015."

Expectations for 2015

Highlights for 2015 include:

  • $705 million total capital expenditure ("CapEx") budget, with approximately 80% allocated for drilling and completion ("D&C") CapEx.
  • Targeting average daily production to range between 45,000 to 49,000 Boepd, representing an approximate 3% increase at the midpoint of 2015 over 2014 average daily production.
  • Completing 79 gross (63.3 net) operated and 2.6 net non-operated wells.

The Company is exploring financing opportunities for Oasis Midstream Services ("OMS"). OMS assets have historically included primarily salt water disposal ("SWD") pipelines and wells. In 2015, the OMS CapEx budget totals $81.0 million for SWD projects on its legacy acreage and for the initial investment into a new SWD, crude oil gathering, and gas gathering and processing system in the Company's Wild Basin project area, which is the eastern acreage block of Indian Hills that Oasis acquired in 2013. OMS produced $7.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2014, and the Company expects to continue to grow this business in 2015.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased by 19% compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower oil and natural gas prices, offset by an increase in production as a result of the Company's well completions in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, as NYMEX West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil prices declined, the Company's price differentials increased as a percentage of WTI but remained relatively flat in terms of the dollar per barrel discount to WTI in the range of $9.00 to $10.50 per barrel of oil, averaging $9.74 during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Excludes bulk oil purchase and non-cash valuation charges.

The sequential quarter-over-quarter decrease in lease operating expenses ("LOE") per barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") was primarily due to higher oil and natural gas volumes produced as well as more salt water disposal volumes going to OMS disposal wells, partially offset by increased workover costs, which include certain costs to protect producing wells from wells that are being completed, and higher LOE on non-operated volumes in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Marketing, transportation and gathering expenses, excluding non-cash valuation charges, totaled $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The 11% sequential quarter-over-quarter decrease per Boe was primarily related to a decrease in the gathering fee on certain oil volumes due to reaching a contractual volume threshold on the gathering system, partially offset by higher operated volumes flowing through third-party oil gathering pipelines in the fourth quarter of 2014. Currently, the Company is flowing 75% of its gross operated oil production through these gathering systems. While transporting volumes through third-party oil gathering pipelines increases marketing, transportation and gathering expenses, it improves oil price realizations by reducing transportation costs included in the Company's oil price differential for sales at the wellhead.

Production taxes for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $26.8 million, or 9.8% of oil and gas revenues, compared to 10.0% of oil and gas revenues for the third quarter of 2014.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses ("DD&A") totaled $116.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $107.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. DD&A was $25.32 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $25.35 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014.

Due to lower expected future oil prices, the Company reviewed its proved oil and natural gas properties as of December 31, 2014 and determined that the carrying value exceeded the expected undiscounted cash flows for certain legacy wells that have been producing from conventional reservoirs such as the Madison, Red River and other formations in the Williston Basin other than the Bakken and Three Forks ("TFS") formations. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $40.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 to adjust the carrying amount of these assets to fair value. No impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties was recorded during 2013. During the fourth quarters of 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $5.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for unproved properties due to leases that expired during the period and periodic assessments of unproved properties not held-by-production. The impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2014 included $2.9 million related to acreage expiring in 2015 and 2016 as a result of a periodic assessment because there were no plans to drill or extend these leases prior to their expiration. In 2013, the Company did not record any impairment charges as a result of periodic assessments based on its ability to actively manage and prioritize its CapEx to drill leases and to make payments to extend leases that would otherwise expire.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $24.1 million compared to $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2014. G&A expenses were $5.23 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $5.67 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014.

As a result of its derivative activities and forward oil price changes, the Company incurred a $306.8 million net gain on derivative instruments, including net cash settlement receipts from derivatives, which are settled at the beginning of the month following the contract period, of $31.5 million, for the fourth quarter of 2014 and a $103.4 million net gain on derivative instruments, including net cash settlement payments of $11.1 million, for the third quarter of 2014. The Company's derivative instruments do not qualify for and were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

Interest expense was $39.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $39.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. The $0.4 million increase from the third quarter of 2014 was primarily due to higher weighted average borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, partially offset by an increase in interest capitalized in the fourth quarter of 2014. Capitalized interest totaled $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2014.

Income tax expense was $106.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.6%. The Company's income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was recorded at 38.6% of pre-tax net income. The Company's effective tax rate is expected to continue to closely approximate the statutory rate applicable to the U.S. and the blended rate for each of the states in which the Company conducts business.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $219.5 million, a decrease of $19.3 million, or 8%, compared to the third quarter of 2014 of $238.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2014 was $952.8 million, an increase of $130.9 million, or 16%, over the full year 2013 of $821.9 million.

The Company reported net income of $176.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $121.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. For the full year 2014, Oasis reported net income of $506.9 million compared to $228.0 million for the full year 2013. Excluding certain non-cash items and their tax effect in the fourth and third quarters of 2014, Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) was $35.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, and $52.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, respectively. Excluding certain non-cash items and their tax effect for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) was $222.6 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, and $247.0 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, respectively. For a definition of Adjusted Net Income and a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 72 gross operated wells awaiting completion.

Leasehold Position and Drilling Locations

As of December 31, 2014, Oasis had 505,503 net acres in the Williston Basin, including 433,794 net acres held-by-production.

As a result of prior downspacing and delineation tests across its acreage position, extensive subsurface modeling, project evaluation, and adjustments for 2014 well completions, Oasis has refined its inventory assumptions. The Company eliminated certain uneconomic lower bench TFS wells and certain TFS wells in North Cottonwood, South Cottonwood, and Foreman Butte that were previously included in its inventory.  Oasis now assumes approximately seven wells per drilling spacing unit ("DSU") across its 216 DSUs in Montana, Foreman Butte, and North Cottonwood. Oasis now includes 72 DSUs in Indian Hills and South Cottonwood, and continues to expect to drill approximately 15 wells per DSU in these areas.  In Indian Hills and South Cottonwood, the Company counts 825 remaining operated drilling locations, of which 701 locations are targeting the Bakken and the first bench of the TFS.  Across the Company's 405 operated DSUs, Oasis believes that its remaining inventory includes 3,046 gross (2,069 net) operated drilling locations as of December 31, 2014.

Estimated Net Proved Reserves

Oasis' estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31, 2014 were 272.1 MMBoe, a 19% increase over year-end 2013 estimated net proved reserves, and consisted of 235.4 barrels ("MMBbls") of oil and 220.1 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") of natural gas utilizing a 12-month index average price of $95.28 per barrel for oil and $4.35 per MMBtu for gas. These prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees, geographical differentials, marketing bonuses or deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the wellhead. At year-end 2014, 87% of the Company's total estimated net proved reserves were from oil.

The table below summarizes the Company's estimated net proved reserves and related PV-10 at December 31, 2014 and 2013 for each project area based on reports prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, independent reserve engineers. In preparing its reports, DeGolyer and MacNaughton evaluated properties representing all of the Company's PV-10 at December 31, 2014 and 2013 in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to companies involved in oil and natural gas producing activities. The information in the following table does not give any effect to or reflect Oasis' commodity hedges.

PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effect of income taxes on discounted future net cash flows. Our estimated net proved reserves and PV-10 were determined using index prices for oil and natural gas, without giving effect to derivative transactions, and were held constant throughout the life of the properties. The unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior twelve months were $95.28/Bbl for oil and $4.35/MMBtu for natural gas and $96.96/Bbl for oil and $3.66/MMBtu for natural gas for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees, geographical differentials, marketing bonuses or deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the wellhead. Future operating costs, production taxes and capital costs were based on current costs as of each year-end.

Estimated net proved developed reserves increased from 122.1 MMBoe at year-end 2013 to 146.3 MMBoe at year-end 2014. The PV-10 of the Company's estimated net proved developed reserves increased to $4,113 million at year-end 2014 from $3,706 million at year-end 2013.

At December 31, 2014, Oasis had approximately 125.7 MMBoe of estimated proved undeveloped reserves as compared to 105.8 MMBoe at December 31, 2013, primarily due to its 2014 drilling program and changes to align its proved undeveloped reserves with its anticipated five-year drilling plan. The Company expects to develop all of its proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2014 within five years of their initial booking.

2015 Plan

The Company's 2015 CapEx budget totals $705 million, which consists of $678 million for E&P CapEx and $27 million for non-E&P CapEx. The planned E&P CapEx includes $565 million of drilling and completion CapEx for operated and non-operated wells (including production-related equipment and expected savings from services provided by OWS and OMS) and $81 million for OMS. Non-E&P CapEx includes OWS capital for additional horsepower for high intensity completions and such items as administrative capital and capitalized interest.

The Company expects to complete 79 gross (63.3 net) operated wells and 2.6 net non-operated wells in 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, impairment of oil and gas properties, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges, and then (2) the non-cash and non-recurring items' impact on taxes based on the Company's effective tax rate in the same period. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the periods presented:
