Valuing Oil & Gas Reserves (Part I) Impact and History of Oil & Gas Prices

Transcription:

Oil & Gas Equipment and Services Update Market Insights Report November 218 Introduction With energy prices trading within a normalized range, drilling and production activity should continue to increase throughout the United States. The Permian basin has continued to be the most active basin in the world, which has driven oil and gas production to outstrip existing pipeline takeaway capacity, creating a $3-$8 discount for oil coming out of the Permian. The lack of pipeline infrastructure, combined with rising oil prices, has prompted E&P operators to expand into other basins throughout the United States. Basins such as the Haynesville, Bakken, and Eagle Ford have seen strong growth, with rig count levels growing year-over-year at 34%, 19%, and 13%, respectively. This Market Insights Report will dive into the key metrics that highlight the recent impressive domestic growth in basins outside of the Permian. Rising Energy Prices & Permian Constraints have encouraged activity to shift to other basins across the United States Bakken YoY Rig Count Growth: +18.8% YoY Production Growth: +13.9% Niobrara YoY Rig Count Growth: +11.5% YoY Production Growth: +11.2% Permian Growth Outside of the Permian Anadarko YoY Rig Count Growth: -1.9% YoY Production Growth: +15.1% Haynesville YoY Rig Count Growth: +34.2% YoY Production Growth: +26.% Eagle Ford YoY Rig Count Growth: +13.4% YoY Production Growth: +1.3% Marcellus / Utica YoY Rig Count Growth: +5.6% YoY Production Growth: +14.2% Activity in the oilfield service industry is gauged by growth in rig count, drilled and completed wells, and production levels. Rising energy prices combined with pipeline constraints in the Permian basin have encouraged activity in other basins across the United States. The proceeding page highlights the basins experiencing recent outsized growth. Energy analysts believe that E&P capex spending in these regions will continue to increase in 219 if oil prices remain in the $55 plus range.

Operators are becoming more interested in these regions because of less expensive labor costs and more accessible energy transportation options. Oil and Gas Production (Barrel of Oil Equivalent) 5,, 4,, 3,, 2,, 1,, - Anadarko Appalachia Bakken Eagle Ford Haynesville Niobrara Basin Production YTD Growth YoY* Growth Anadarko 1,85,51 12.1% 15.1% Appalachia 5,96,298 13.6% 14.2% Bakken 1,78,171 15.7% 13.9% Eagle Ford 2,644,21 14.7% 1.3% Haynesville 1,665,39 28.1% 26.% Niobrara 1,495,362 9.6% 11.2% As energy prices stabilize above $5 per barrel, operators have regained confidence in drawing production from basins outside of the Permian. Two of the basins that have seen the most growth over the last twelve months are the Appalachia and Haynesville, both of which are driven by natural gas production. A strong outlook for LNG exports will continue to propel activity in these regions. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, DUC Count - Basin DUC Count YTD Growth YoY* Growth Anadarko 1,84 34.5% 3.6% Appalachia 623-15.9% -13.7% Bakken 797-2.8% 5.6% Eagle Ford 1,571 2.1% 25.3% Haynesville 23 33.6% 51.5% Anadarko Appalachia Bakken Eagle Ford Haynesville Niobrara Niobrara 41-4.6% -37.1% Drilled but Uncompleted Well ( DUC ) count is a key indicator of both new wells drilled and completion activity in each basin. Basins like the Niobrara and Appalachia have seen a decrease in DUC count, indicating that completion activity has increased at a more accelerated rate than other basins. The largest increase in DUC count is from the Anadarko and Haynesville basins. *YoY Growth is 11/9/18 over 11/9/17, DUC YoY Growth is 1/1/18 over 1/1/17 Source: EIA, Baker Hughes
