RBN Energy: E&P profits, cash flow slips again, but cost controls keep industry in the black. What, me worry? Archived.
With oil and gas prices drifting lower and markets continuing to pummel exploration and production companies, shareholders and analysts approached the third-quarter 2019 earnings season with the sense of impending doom akin to awaiting the results of an IRS audit. There was a lot of talk that the Shale Revolution was fizzling out and that the industry was approaching yet another financial Armageddon, like the 2014-15 oil price crash crisis. But the results belied the worst fears: while lower commodity prices did reduce profits and cash flows, E&Ps as a group remained solidly profitable in the third quarter, with 40 of the 47 companies we track ending up in the black. The reductions in operating income and cash flows were generally in line with lower realizations from oil and gas sales, although lower commodity prices did trigger some write-downs of properties that could no longer be profitably developed. Once again, E&Ps held the line on costs, continuing the financial discipline that fueled the industry’s recovery after the mid-decade price crash. Although producers generally cut back expenditures in line with lower cash flows, increases in drilling efficiency allowed production to keep growing. Today, we examine the financial health of the 47 E&Ps we track in this analysis and the ways they are navigating the price downturn.
As NPR Marketplace radio host Kai Ryssdal likes to say, “Let’s do the numbers.” E&Ps took a double-barreled hit during the third quarter of 2019, as oil and gas prices fell while impairments rose substantially. The 47 E&Ps we follow reported combined pretax operating profits of $6.1 billion profit, or $5.06 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe; blue bar to far right in Figure 1), the lowest since 2017. Pretax operating cash flow fell just short of $20/boe (orange bar to far right in Figure 1). Profits, excluding impairments, and cash flow declined $2.96 billion and $2.73 billion, respectively, virtually matching the $2.76 billion reduction in revenues from lower commodity prices. Impairments totaled nearly $3 billion, double the previous quarter, led by Antero Resources’ $1 billion write-down of its Utica Shale properties. Lifting costs, DD&A (depreciation, depletion and amortization) expenses, and exploration costs were level with the preceding two quarters.
