99.1 | Press release, dated November 3, 2015, entitled “Diamondback Energy, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial and Operating Results and Updated Guidance for 2015.” |
• | Diamondback’s Q3 2015 production was 34.1 Mboe/d, up 14% from 30.0 Mboe/d in Q2 2015. |
• | The Company has raised its production guidance for 2015 from a range of 30.0 to 32.0 Mboe/d to a range of 31.0 to 32.0 Mboe/d while expecting capital spend to be at the low end of the guided range of $400 to $450 million. |
• | Well costs are currently trending between $5.5 and $5.8 million for a 7,500 foot lateral. As a result, the Company has lowered its average well cost guidance in 2015 to $6.2 to $6.4 million from $6.2 to $6.7 million, previously. |
• | Based on operated and offset completions, Diamondback considers the Wolfcamp A and Middle Spraberry horizontal targets de-risked in a large portion of its key focus areas. Recent activity includes: |
◦ | During the third quarter of 2015, the Company's first operated Wolfcamp A well was completed as part of a triple stacked lateral that included a Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp B. |
▪ | The Trailand A Unit 3906WA has a 7,297 foot lateral and was completed with 33 frac stages. It achieved an average peak 30-day 2-stream initial production ("IP") rate of 1,034 boe/d (90% oil) on electric submersible pump (“ESP”) when normalized to a 7,500 foot lateral. |
▪ | Initial performance indicates that the Wolfcamp A well is tracking a 750 to 850 Mboe type curve. |
▪ | The Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp B completions appear consistent with the Company's Ryder Scott type curves for Spanish Trail of 990 Mboe and 638 Mboe, respectively. |
◦ | Diamondback also completed its first operated Middle Spraberry well during the third quarter of 2015. The ST W 705MS has a lateral length of 7,503 feet and was completed with 32 stages. Its peak 30-day 2-stream IP rate is 851 boe/d (91% oil) on ESP. |
• | In October 2015 the Company drilled a 7,600 foot lateral well in Martin County in approximately 9 days from spud to total depth. |
