SUNDANCE ENERGY AUSTRALIA LIMITED QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

 

Production

 

Sundance Energy Australia Limited (“Sundance” or the “Company”; ASX: SEA) produced approximately 7,900 Boe/d (net) during the second quarter of 2018, exceeding the Company’s previously released production guidance for the second quarter of 7,000 to 7,500 Boe/d. This figure is inclusive of production associated with the Pioneer Natural Resources acquisition (the “Acquisition”) subsequent to its closing on 23rd April.

 

The Company’s net production for the second quarter inclusive of the Acquisition was 718,108 Boe, including flared gas of 15,082 Boe.  Net production comprised 370,549 barrels of oil, 121,611 barrels of natural gas liquids, and 1,355,691 thousand cubic feet of natural gas. Exclusive of certain prior period adjustments, production for the period was ~54% oil by volume.

 

The Company’s net production for the first half of the year, including flared gas of 53,112 Boe, was 1,348,296 Boe or approximately 7,449 Boe/d (net), in-line with previously released production guidance for the first half of the year of 7,000 to 7,500 Boe/d. Net production was comprised of 735,790 barrels of oil, 201,124 barrels of natural gas liquids, and 2,468,294 thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

 

Pricing

 

The average estimated second quarter price received per barrel of oil excluding the impact of hedging and fixed price physical delivery contracts was US$67.02, per mmbtu of gas was US$2.21, and per barrel of NGL was US$22.37. On a blended basis the average estimated first quarter price received per Boe for all products was US$43.16.

 

Subsequent to quarter end the Company entered an agreement to sell oil from its legacy McMullen and Atascosa assets to Trafigura through 31 March 2019.  The Company has the option to extend the term of the deal to 30 September 2019 by way of two separate 3 month options.  There is a mutual option to extend the agreement for an additional 3 months to 31 December 2019.  Pricing is based on ICE Brent less transportation costs from the wellhead.

Development Activities

 

Sundance’s production guidance for the third quarter of 2018 is 10,000–11,000 boe/d. As of the date of this report, the Company has two wells that have just initiated flowback and 7 remaining wells that are drilled but not completed. The Company has a dedicated frac crew for the remainder of 2018, providing pricing and availability certainty for all of its 2018 fracs.  The Company is currently in the process of drilling two pads representing its next six wells.

 

Sundance brought three gross (2.92 net) wells on its legacy acreage into production during the quarter. Initial production results for the McMullen County Paloma Ranch 7H well and the Atascosa County Peeler Ranch 8HC and 9HC wells are in line with well performance expectations.

 

The Paloma Ranch 7H well had a completed lateral length of 7,690’ and initiated flowback on 2nd June. Initial 30-day production (“IP-30”) results were 1,345 boe/d with oil representing 62% (or 829 bbls) of volumes. The Peeler Ranch 8HC and 9HC wells initiated flowback on 26th June with completed lateral lengths of 5,642’ and 5,820’ respectively. IP-30 results for the Peeler Ranch 8HC well were 484 Boe/d with oil representing 92% (or 443 Bbls) of volumes. IP-30 results for the 9HC well were 446 Boe/d with oil representing 93% (or 415 Bbls) of volumes.

 

The Company completed drilling (“SPUD to TD”) five additional gross (5.0 net) wells during the second quarter. These comprised the Harlan Bethune 25H, 26H, and 27H three well pad on the Company’s recently acquired Live Oak County assets and the Allen MCM 1HA and 2HA two well pad on its legacy McMullen County Assets.

 

At quarter’s end, the Company was in the process of drilling four additional gross ([4.0 net) wells, including the Justin Tom 05H and 06H two well pad on its recently acquired Atascosa County assets and the Harlan Bethune 34H and 35H two well pad on its recently acquired Live Oak County assets. As of the date of this report, the Company had completed drilling these wells and mobilized the Patterson 229 rig to the four well James Keith Esse pad and the Patterson 589 rig to the two well Idylwood pad, each on its recently acquired Live Oak county acreage.

 

At quarter’s end the Company was additionally in the process of fracking the Allen MCM 1HA and 2HA wells. These wells subsequently began initial flowback date on 31st July and the frac spread is mobilizing to the Harlan Bethune 25H, 26H, and 27H three well pad.

 

The Company is continuing its pad drilling program in the third quarter with specific focus on the newly acquired assets in Live Oak County. The Company currently anticipates bringing nine gross wells online during the third quarter.

 

In support of these activities, Sundance has executed a one year contract on the Patterson 229 rig and a 90 day contract on the Patterson 589 rig. Both contracts are at fixed day rates.  The Company is additionally in process of finalizing a fixed pricing agreement with a major service provider covering completions services and providing the pressure pumping capacity necessary to execute the Company’s growth plan through the end of 2019.  All service contracts are in-line with the cost assumptions used for the Company’s previously announced capital expenditure program.

Acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources Joint Venture

 

As previously announced, on 23rd April Sundance finalized the Acquisition of approximately 21,900 net acres and 1,700 Boe/d of production in the Eagle Ford from a joint venture operated by Pioneer Natural Resources, USA, Inc. for cash consideration of US$220.1 million, subject to post-closing adjustments.

 

In order to fund the Acquisition, the Company raised US$260.0 million of new equity. Additionally, the Company extinguished its existing term loan of US$125.0 million and reserve-based loan of US$67.0 million with proceeds from a new syndicated second lien term loan of US$250.0 million.

 

Contemporaneous with the Acquisition closing and the refinanced term loan, the Company entered into a new reserve-based loan with a US$250.0 million face value and initial availability of US$87.5 million, less a US$12.0 million Letter of Credit posted for minimum revenue guarantees under its new midstream contract.

 

Liquidity Position

 

As of 30 June 2018, Sundance had US$6.3 million of cash and US$75.5 million additional borrowing capacity on its new reserve-based loan. The Company estimated that it had approximately US$81.8 million of liquidity, inclusive of undrawn borrowing capacity under the reserve-based loan and cash at hand at quarter’s end. The Company expects this liquidity, plus projected EBITDA of US$110.0 million and US$250.0 million of EBITDA in 2018 and 2019, respectively, to be sufficient to fund its 2018 and 2019 development program.

 

Subsequent to the quarter’s end on 26th July, Sundance drew upon US$10 million of its reserve-based loan to fund continued development activity. This action is in-line with the Company’s budget and capital planning. Following this activity, the Company has US$65.5 million of additional borrowing capacity remaining under the facility.

 

Hedging

 

During the quarter, the Company added 2,541,000 barrels of oil hedges with an average floor and ceiling of US$57.93 and US$67.18 per bbl, respectively. This includes exiting certain existing WTI-based hedges and replacing them with Brent hedges to better align with pricing under a recently signed physical marketing contract on the Company’s legacy assets effective 1st July. The average floor and ceiling of the WTI hedges exited were $55.17 and $59.85 respectively, as compared with the average floor and ceiling of $63.74 and $69.30 for the replacement Brent hedges entered.

 

Subsequent to the quarter, but prior to the issuance of this report, the Company added 1,380,000 bbls of oil hedges in 2019 and 2020 with an average floor and ceiling of US$58.54 and US$64.28 per bbl respectively, bringing the Company’s total hedged position as at 30th July to 5,463,000 bbls covering 2018 – 2023, as shown in Exhibit B below.

 

Pro forma for the hedges entered subsequent to quarter end the Company has approximately 66%, 39% and 34% of planned oil production hedged for the remainder of 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Disclaimers Proved and probable reserves Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott) has prepared an independent estimate of the proved and probable reserves, future production and income attributable to leasehold interests within the recently closed acquisition of 21,900 net acres for sale by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Reliance Eagleford Upstream Holding LP, and Newpek, LLC (Asset) in the Eagle Ford shale play in the State of Texas, USA as of 1 January 2018. The volumes classified as reserves in the Ryder Scott report have been assigned to both oil and gas reserves and represent 100% of the total net proved and probable liquid hydrocarbon and gas reserves of the Assets at the report date (including producing, non-producing and undeveloped). The reserves estimate were prepared in accordance with the classification and reporting requirements of the Petroleum Resources Management System (SPE-PRMS) as required by the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rule 5 - Additional Reporting on Mining and Oil & Gas Production and Exploration Activities. The reserves estimates were calculated using a deterministic methodology. Ryder Scott utilised proprietary data relating to existing production and lease operating costs from the current Asset wells to forecast a future production stream and associated cash flows based on the economic interest of the Company, NYMEX strip (varying) WTI pricing US$59.36 in 2018, decreasing to $51.67 by 2023 and held constant thereafter and lease operating expense estimates comprising a fixed and variable component based on historic operating expense reports. The reference point for the volumes produced is at the wellhead. Qualified Resource Evaluator's Statement The information in this presentation that relate to petroleum reserves in Eagle Ford leasehold interests held by the vendors and which are subject to the proposed acquisition by Sundance set out in this presentation, is based on, and fairly and accurately represents, in the form and content in which is appears, information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr. Stephen E Gardner, qualified petroleum reserves and resources evaluator. Mr. Gardner is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers, currently serving in the latter organisation's Denver Chapter as Chairman. Mr. Gardner has sufficient experience that is relevant to the evaluation and estimation of petroleum reserves to qualify as a Qualified Reserves and Resources Evaluator as defined in the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules. Mr. Gardner is not an employee of Sundance or a related party but an employee of Ryder Scott Company, L.P. Mr. Gardner has consented to the inclusion in this presentation of the matters in the form and content in which it appears.
