Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) today reported operational and
financial results for the third quarter of 2017. Also included
within the release is the company’s guidance outlook for the fourth
quarter of 2017.
Highlights
- Production exceeds midpoint of
hurricane-adjusted guidance
- 50 high-rate wells brought online with
average rates exceeding 2,100 Boe per day
- Capital expenditures were 12 percent
below guidance year to date
- Divestiture program reaches $420
million of asset sales
- Free cash flow increases cash balance
to $2.8 billion
“We continue to deliver outstanding well productivity from our
U.S. resource plays as we execute on our development plans,” said
Dave Hager, president and CEO. “During the quarter, we had some of
the best drill-bit results in Devon’s history with 50 new wells
averaging 30-day rates in excess of 2,100 Boe per day. Importantly,
we delivered these prolific wells with a capital investment that
was below the low end of our guidance range for the third
consecutive quarter.”
“With these strong results, we remain on track to achieve our
2017 exit rate production targets, and we are positioned to deliver
attractive, high rate-of-return growth in 2018,” said Hager. “A key
driver of our operational momentum is the advancement of multi-zone
development activity across our world-class STACK and Delaware
Basin opportunities. With several projects underway, this
cutting-edge development technique will optimize per-section
recoveries, while improving capital efficiencies by 20
percent.”
Production Exceeds Midpoint of Hurricane-Adjusted
Guidance
Devon’s net production in the third quarter averaged 527,000
oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day. This result exceeded the
midpoint of the company’s Hurricane Harvey-adjusted guidance by
6,000 Boe per day. Of this total, oil production accounted for the
largest component of the company’s product mix at 44 percent of
total volumes.
The majority of Devon’s production was attributable to its U.S.
resource plays, which averaged 403,000 Boe per day during the third
quarter. Storm-related curtailments reduced production in the U.S.
by approximately 15,000 barrels per day (65 percent oil) in the
quarter, with the most significant impact in the south Texas Eagle
Ford play. The strongest asset-level performance in the quarter was
from the company’s STACK assets, where production advanced 26
percent compared to 2016 exit rates.
In Canada, net production was at the top-end of guidance
averaging 124,000 Boe per day during the third quarter. A
maintenance event at Jackfish 2, completed over a three-week period
in July, curtailed production by approximately 15,000 barrels per
day in the third quarter. Devon’s Jackfish complex has returned to
pre-turnaround production levels and exited September at rates that
are 24 percent above nameplate capacity.
50 High-Rate Wells Brought Online with Rates Exceeding 2,100
Boe per Day
Devon continued to advance its development programs across its
U.S. resource plays and exited the third quarter with 19
development rigs running. With this increased activity, the company
commenced production on 50 high-rate wells that averaged initial
30-day rates of more than 2,100 Boe per day (50 percent oil).
This strong drill-bit productivity was highlighted by 14 new
Meramec wells brought online in the STACK play that achieved
average 30-day rates of greater than 2,300 Boe per day (55 percent
oil). The Delaware Basin also delivered several high-rate oil
wells. This activity was headlined by four new Bone Spring wells
around the state-line area of southeast New Mexico that attained
30-day rates of 1,750 Boe per day (75 percent oil).
These high-rate development wells showcase Devon’s asset quality
and outstanding execution that has generated best-in-class well
productivity in North America. Based on publicly available data
over the past year, Devon’s 90-day production rates from new wells
have achieved the highest rates of any U.S. onshore operator.
Strong Exit Rates Build Momentum into 2018
With operations fully restored from storm-related impacts, Devon
remains on track to achieve its full-year 2017 target for U.S. oil
production. Importantly, based on higher activity levels for the
remainder of the year, the company forecasts its U.S. oil
production from retained assets to exit the year at levels
approximately 20 percent higher than the fourth quarter of
2016.
This strong production growth over the remainder of 2017 is
driven by the company’s STACK and Delaware Basin assets, where 90
percent of its U.S. development rig activity is allocated.
Combined, these two franchise growth assets are expected to advance
their production by greater than 30 percent by the end of 2017
compared to the same period a year ago. With this strong growth in
higher-margin production, liquids volumes are now projected to
reach approximately 65 percent of Devon’s product mix by
year-end.
In Canada, with maintenance at the Jackfish complex complete,
the company expects to build strong momentum heading into 2018. For
the fourth quarter of 2017, net production in Canada is forecasted
to increase to a range of 137,000 to 143,000 Boe per day.
Capital Expenditures 12 Percent Below Guidance Year to
Date
The company’s exploration and development capital expenditures
in the third quarter totaled $548 million, which was below the low
end of guidance for the third consecutive quarter. On a
year-to-date basis, Devon’s capital investment has been 12 percent
below the midpoint of guidance and amounted to 65 percent of the
original capital budget provided in February.
This strong capital efficiency is driven by productivity gains
in the STACK and Delaware Basin and the decoupling of historically
bundled services. These efficiency improvements have largely offset
industry inflationary pressures in 2017.
Due to these positive operating trends, Devon expects E&P
capital spending to range from $2.0 billion to $2.1 billion in
2017. The company has not made any changes to its planned activity
levels in 2017 and is on track to run approximately 20 development
rigs across its U.S. resource plays by the end of 2017.
Third-Quarter 2017 Operations Report
For additional details on well results and other information
about Devon’s E&P operations, please refer to the company’s
third-quarter 2017 operations report at www.devonenergy.com.
Highlights from the report include:
- STACK production advances 26 percent
year to date
- Meramec pilot achieves average 30-day
rates of 3,500 Boe per day
- STACK full-field development underway
with spudding of Showboat project
- Initial Delaware Basin multi-zone
project delivers cost savings of $1 million per well
- Jackfish complex exits quarter 24
percent above nameplate capacity
- Preliminary 2018 capital and production
outlook
Midstream Profit Advances 9 Percent Year to Date
Devon’s midstream business generated operating profits of $242
million in the third quarter, expanding by 9 percent on a
year-to-date basis compared to 2016. This growth was driven
entirely by Devon’s strategic investment in EnLink Midstream.
Devon has a 64 percent ownership in EnLink’s general partner
(NYSE: ENLC) and a 23 percent interest in the limited partner
(NYSE: ENLK). In aggregate, the company’s ownership in EnLink has a
market value of approximately $3.4 billion and is expected to
generate cash distributions of approximately $270 million
annually.
Cost Structure Continues to Improve
In addition to the shift to higher-value production, Devon plans
to further expand margins with cost-reduction initiatives that are
expected to achieve $1.4 billion of annualized operating and
general and administrative expense (G&A) savings in 2017. In
the third quarter, the company’s largest field-level cost, lease
operating expenses (LOE), totaled $391 million, or $8.05 per Boe.
This represents nearly $10 million of savings compared to the
second quarter of 2017, with cost reductions achieved in both the
U.S. and Canada.
Importantly, the company’s operating costs are expected to
further improve on a per-unit basis in the fourth quarter of 2017.
This improvement is driven by the combination of higher production
rates and relatively flat LOE costs due to efficiency gains within
field operations.
The company also effectively managed its G&A cost structure
in the third quarter. Overhead expenses totaled $153 million, a 15
percent improvement compared to peak rates in the first half of the
year. Savings were driven by lower employee-related costs.
Higher-Margin Production Nearly Doubles Cash Flow
Devon’s operating cash flow totaled $776 million in the third
quarter. On a year-to-date basis, operating cash flow has reached
$2.4 billion, a 96 percent increase compared to the same period a
year ago. The higher cash flow is primarily attributable to
improvements in commodity prices and a lower cost structure.
Devon’s reported net earnings totaled $228 million or $0.43 per
diluted share in the third quarter. Adjusting for items that
securities analysts typically exclude from their published
estimates, the company’s core earnings totaled $242 million or
$0.46 per diluted share, exceeding analyst consensus estimates.
Free Cash Flow Increases Cash Balance to $2.8 Billion
In the third quarter, the company’s upstream operations fully
funded its capital requirements and generated free cash flow, which
helped increase cash balances by $400 million to $2.8 billion at
the end of September. This represents the third consecutive quarter
that Devon has increased its cash balance, representing a total
cash build of approximately $800 million year to date.
In addition to the company’s strong liquidity and
investment-grade ratings, Devon’s financial position is further
bolstered by its attractive hedge position. The company currently
has approximately 65 percent of its estimated oil and gas
production protected for the remainder of 2017 at attractive
pricing points.
The company continues to accumulate hedges for 2018 and has
protected the price of approximately 40 percent of estimated
volumes for the first half of the year. Devon’s disciplined,
risk-management program will continue to add hedges for the
upcoming six quarters. This activity will consist of systematic
hedges added on a quarterly basis and discretionary hedges that
take advantage of favorable market conditions.
Asset Divestiture Program Reaches $420 Million of Asset
Sales
The company’s financial strength will be further enhanced by
proceeds from its ongoing divestiture program. In the third
quarter, the divestiture program progressed with an additional $80
million of asset sales, increasing overall proceeds to $420 million
to date.
The most significant asset remaining within this divestiture
program is select leasehold within the Barnett Shale focused
primarily in Johnson County. Data rooms for the Johnson County
properties were opened at the end of September and initial bids are
expected during the fourth quarter. Production associated with the
assets in Johnson County is approximately 30,000 Boe per day.
Due to the closing of the Lavaca County assets at the end of the
quarter and other minor asset sales, Devon’s fourth quarter
production is expected to be reduced by 5,000 Boe per day (60
percent oil).
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Devon is
required to reconcile non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting
principles) financial measures to the related GAAP information.
Core earnings and core earnings per share referenced within the
commentary of this release are non-GAAP financial measures.
Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures are provided
within the tables of this release.
Conference Call Webcast and Supplemental Earnings
Materials
Please note that as soon as practicable today, Devon will post
an operations report to its website at www.devonenergy.com. The
company’s third-quarter conference call will be held at 10 a.m.
Central (11 a.m. Eastern) on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2017, and will
serve primarily as a forum for analyst and investor questions and
answers.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL
INFORMATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. These
non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you
should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP
measures used in this press release, including reconciliations to
their most directly comparable GAAP measure.
CORE EARNINGS
Devon’s reported net earnings include items of income and
expense that are typically excluded by securities analysts in their
published estimates of the company’s financial results.
Accordingly, the company also uses the measures of core earnings
and core earnings per share attributable to Devon. Devon believes
these non-GAAP measures facilitate comparisons of its performance
to earnings estimates published by securities analysts. Devon also
believes these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of its
performance between periods and to the performance of its peers.
The following table summarizes the effects of these items on
third-quarter 2017 earnings.

NET DEBT
Devon defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents
and net debt attributable to the consolidation of EnLink Midstream
as presented in the following table. Devon believes that netting
these sources of cash against debt and adjusting for EnLink net
debt provides a clearer picture of the future demands on cash from
Devon to repay debt.
