Empire Petroleum Provides Encouraging North Dakota Drilling Program Update and Reports Q1 2024 Results

 

TULSA, OK – (May 15, 2024) – Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) (“Empire” or the “Company”), an oil and gas company with producing assets in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and Louisiana, today provided an update on its North Dakota development drilling program and reported results for the first quarter of 2024.

 

FIRST QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

oReported Q1-24 net sales volumes of 2,207 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”);
o65% oil, 17% natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), and 18% natural gas
oAverage daily oil sales volumes grew by 11% sequentially and 8% year-over-year

 

oCommenced $20.66M Rights Offering at $5.00 per share to fund current drilling, 3-D seismic imaging, other strategic initiatives, and operations, which was successfully completed in Q2-24;

 

oInitiated 3-D & 2-D seismic survey for the North Dakota drilling program, 3-D & 2-D shoot was completed in May 2024, with data sent for processing and a completion target of the end of Q2-24;

 

oContinued optimization and evaluation around the waterflood units in Empire’s New Mexico assets, including an upcoming pilot drilling program; and

 

oReported Q1-24 total revenue of $9.4 million, a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.15 per share and an Adjusted Net Loss of $3.9 million, or $0.15 per share;
oGenerated Q1-24 Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.7) million

 

2024 OUTLOOK

Phil Mulacek, Chairman, commented, “Recent drilling and data from the North Dakota field and reservoir affirm our confidence in the opportunity to drive meaningful production improvements in this area. We continue to see excellent well economics within our North Dakota operations and are pleased to have achieved significant per-well cost reductions as compared to our initial expectations, following the drilling of our most recent wells. The integration of the new 3-D and the EOR infrastructure in North Dakota are the key drivers for our production growth goals in 2024, which we expect to be weighted to the second half of the year.”

 

Mike Morrisett, President and CEO, added, “Our team has assembled a strong base of producing assets, and we have a clear, focused strategy to build value from this portfolio. Our principal focus for the balance of 2024 is to complete our North Dakota development program. Moving into 2025, the Permian in New Mexico’s Lea County represents a significant production growth opportunity. We have initiated technical work to identify uplift opportunities at our three prolific waterflood units in Lea County, though we expect it to take a few more quarters before we can commence our pilot drilling program there.”

North Dakota – Williston Basin:


Empire expects North Dakota development efforts to drive production improvements targeted to return operations to positive cash flow and support New Mexico exploration and development in late 2024 and beyond.

o70% of the horizontal wells completed or in progress and more under development over the next 2 quarters; the remaining 30% of the horizontal laterals will be completed for initial Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) development in Q2-Q3 2024;
oFirst stage of the EOR infrastructure to be completed in Q2-2024 and the balance installed in Q3-2024;
oInitial production impact anticipated to ramp in Q3-2024 to Q4-2024 and beyond;
oDrill core data, currently being evaluated, has confirmed new zones of potential development; and
o3-D seismic program to guide North Dakota drilling and development;
oCompleted 3-D & 2-D seismic shoot in early May 2024; expect to complete 3-D processing/analysis and updated 3-D model by end of Q2-2024 to support launch of development program in Q3-2024

 

New Mexico – Permian Basin:

oInitiated data and analytics on historical water injection profiles across all injectors in Empire’s waterflood units;
oCurrently focused on evaluating conformance improvements;
oOptimizing waterflood aerial performance to enhance overall recovery efficiency;
oConstructed reservoir simulation model of Eunice Monument South Unit (EMSU), Eunice Monument South Unit-B (EMSU-B) and Arrowhead Grayburg Unit (AGU) to evaluate performance and impact to SWD injection and long-term flooding into the San Andres;
oIdentified high potential recompletion opportunities in outlying fields; and
oInitiated legal and regulatory actions against third parties trespassing on the NM water floods

Net sales for Q1-24 were 2,207 Boe/d, including 1,437 barrels of oil per day; 382 barrels of NGLs per day, and 2,328 thousand cubic feet per day (“Mcf/d”) or 388 Boe/d of natural gas.

 

Empire reported Q1-24 total revenue of $9.4 million versus $10.1 million in Q1-23. Contributing to the decrease was a $0.9 million net loss on derivatives versus a net loss on derivatives of $0.07 million in Q1-23. Partially offsetting the change in derivatives loss was the increase in oil production due to new wells completed in North Dakota.

 

Q1-24 lease operating expenses increased to $7.4 million versus $6.5 million for Q1-23, primarily due to higher power and fuel costs, higher contract labor and an increase in employee headcount.

 

Production and ad valorem taxes for Q1-24 were $0.8 million, slightly higher year-over-year as a result of higher product revenues.

 

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion (“DD&A”) for Q1-24 was $1.98 million versus $1.02 million for Q1-23. The increase in production and the impact of higher capitalized costs associated with the new drilling activity in North Dakota drove DD&A expense higher year-over-year.

 

General and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense, were $2.9 million, or $14.33 per Boe in Q1-24 versus $3.0 million, or $15.23 per Boe in Q1-23. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to severance expense for the former CEO in Q1-23, which more than offset a Q1-24 increase in salaries and benefits associated with an increase in employee headcount.

 

Interest expense for Q1-24 was $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million for Q1-23.

 

Empire recorded a Q1-24 net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, versus a Q1-23 net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $0.7 million for Q1-24 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million in Q1-23.

 

CAPITAL SPENDING, BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Empire invested approximately $13.4 million in capital expenditures, primarily reflecting the completion of 4 wells in North Dakota.

 

As of March 31, 2024, Empire had approximately $3.5 million in cash on hand and approximately $1.1 million available on its credit facility. Empire received proceeds of approximately $20.66 million following the close of the Rights Offering in April 2024.

Non-GAAP Information

 

Certain financial information included in Empire’s financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”, “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current periods to prior periods.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), accretion, amortization of right of use assets and other items. Company management believes this presentation is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Empire’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.
