EnerCom Denver – The Energy Investment Conference summary
18 Aug, 2026Strategic Positioning and Asset Focus
Concentrates on the Central Basin Platform and southern shelf in the Permian Basin, leveraging low entry costs and significant remaining recoverable resources exceeding 15 Bbbl.
Holds over 96,000 net acres, with more than 500 identified gross new drill locations and 10+ years of drilling inventory at current activity levels.
Emphasizes conventional reservoirs with higher porosity and permeability, resulting in shallower declines and longer asset lives.
Recent acquisitions, such as Stronghold Energy and Lime Rock, have expanded operational scale and inventory.
Positions as a top consolidator in the Central Basin Platform and Northwest Shelf, with a proven track record in accretive M&A and integration.
Operational Advancements and Technology Adoption
Shifted from primarily vertical to predominantly horizontal drilling, with a strategic focus on longer laterals and multi-bench development.
Adoption of co-development and multi-bench drilling strategies has unlocked over 200 high-return horizontal wells in Crane County.
Horizontal drilling and multi-stage frac technology have significantly increased oil recovery and PV-10 values by 180% and 65%, respectively.
Technological improvements now allow for 2-mile laterals, enhancing resource recovery and capital efficiency.
Horizontal development has revitalized legacy fields, significantly increasing well count and production in key counties since 2015.
Financial Strategy and Capital Allocation
Maintains a strong focus on financial strength, targeting a leverage ratio below 1.25x to optimize credit facility terms.
Capital allocation is disciplined, prioritizing highest-return projects and spinning off non-core assets.
Operating costs have consistently trended at or below guidance, supporting margin expansion, with LOE guidance at $10.00–$10.60 per Boe for 2026.
Revised 2026 guidance increases capital spending to $160–$165 million, with a greater focus on horizontal wells and infrastructure.
Achieved over 127% production growth and 107% PV-10 increase since 2020, with 20+ years of reserve life.
