They don’t. You can’t just sell assets without seriously impairing your borrowing base and the assets they can probably afford to sell (gas) won’t attract much value because they’re gas and it’s a shite A&D market.

Permian getting killed in the market right now because, again, operators over promised and have under delivered. The layer cake with distinct layers is BS, costs are through the roof.

It will be interesting to see if XOM and Chevron can make it work. I am assuming they are more interested in the consistent longterm production albeit at lower rates.

CVX owns the minerals so they’ll make it work. I wasn’t saying the Permian was not a great resource play...it’s just another over promise, under deliver capital incineration machine at this point. There’s going to be a smaller core that is highly profitable and a bunch of lower tier acreage that busts out a bunch of mid and small caps.

We’re forecasting a 4-5% bump between 2020 and 2023 out of GOM, but nothing material and definitely nothing long lasting.

It’s not the Permian getting killed in the market, it’s the entire energy sector.

I completely agree that operators have been understating their costs by 15-20% for many years now, but even with higher well costs than they led on to believe we’ve still never seen economics in shale like this ever before, outside of Karnes County (which was and still is half the scale).

Tier 4 Permian acreage is breaking even with current commodity prices. Tier 4. We’ve never seen even close to that in any other play.

I’m not an operator, strictly third party moderator. I have a hard time believing it, but the numbers are there.

You guys think XOM, CVX, RDSA are making moves to choke out independents for poor man economics? They’ve all got variable acreage, and they make money with all of it.

Pretty sure Aubrey’s interest at 2.5 in their eagleford stuff was called Jamestown Resources.


His Appalachian interests are held as Larchmont Resources. I think he had quite a few entities set up to hold all his various interests across the country.

It varies by company but can estimate a general break even by using average costs in a given region/basin

So question because I don't know shale. I know the intial decline rates are quick and steep but doesnt the production level off and maintain for long periods after the initial decline?

Yes, very steep year 1 decline then fairly stable. Month over month, depending on the play and GOR, can be a 5-7% decline. They choke the hell out of something like the haynesville due to its extreme decline.

Generalizing terminal declines here, which are reached usually year 4-5, shake out to 0.8-1.2% MoM.

Like I said earlier, I dont think XOM/Chev are looking at the intial production as much as the longer term steady production. I would have to think they have some EOR plans to extend the production even further.

The numbers are easily manipulated and they have been. Publicized break evens are horse shite...especially the crap being claimed in the Permian.

I bought it in 2011 for about $14 a share and it had a decent dividend. Went up to $30 something and the dividend got cut and I bailed. I’ve bought and sold some here and there since then.

If the break evens are as good as are being touted why do the profits never show up in the company financials? They’re flat out overstating reserves and understating costs, especially on the g and a side. These guys keep drilling to pay off debt instead of laying down rigs when rational operators (read non p-e backed private companies) would. They end up perpetually flooding the market and killing everybody, while maybe 40% of it is really economic.
