Natural Gas Recovers From Multi-Year Lows on Supply Data - Jan.2019

The U.S. Energy Department's weekly inventory release showed a smaller-than-expected increase in natural gas supplies. However, the injection was higher than the five-year average and the year-ago rise. Therefore, despite a slight recovery, natural gas prices remained close to the lowest levels in more than three years because of growing fears that soaring production is outpacing demand growth.

Analysis: Less-Than-Expected Rise in Storage

Stockpiles held in underground storage in the lower 48 states rose by 98 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ended Jun 21, below the guidance (of 100 Bcf gain) as per the analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts. However, the increase was higher than the five-year (2014-2018) average net injection of 70 Bcf and last year’s increase of 71 Bcf for the reported week.

The latest rise in inventories puts total natural gas stocks at 2.301 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) - 236 Bcf (11.4%) above 2018 levels at this time but 171 Bcf (6.9%) under the five-year average.

Fundamentally speaking, total supply of natural gas averaged 94.2 Bcf per day, essentially unchanged on a weekly basis. While dry production inched up to 89.6 Bcf per day from 89 Bcf per day, 2% less gas flowed into the country from Canada.

Meanwhile, daily consumption was up 3.3% to 84.1 Bcf compared to 81.4 Bcf in the previous week primarily due to strong power sector demand amid warmer weather across the Southeast region.

Prices Recover Somewhat

The slightly smaller-than-expected climb in U.S. supplies drove a 5.6% weekly gain for natural gas – the best week since January – erasing some of the steep losses that have taken the commodity to lows not seen since May 2016. Still, natural gas – at $2.308 per MMBtu – is far off the $3.722 per MMBtu 2019-high reached in January. Last week, the fuel hit a more than three-year low of $2.185.

WINTER 2023-24 UPDATE,  ( yrE'23: $2.327 / xoi-1,862= 0.125% )

Why are you projecting lower natural gas prices?

Dena Wiggins: Demand for natural gas is projected to set a new record this winter, but record production, higher-than average storage, and a slowing economy will provide ample supply. Together these factors will place slight downward pressure on natural gas prices compared to last winter.

• It’s important that we first look at natural gas supply. Natural gas production has been at an all-time high for over a year, mainly due to the ability of natural gas producers to incorporate cutting edge technologies and efficiencies gained from experience to produce more with each rig. For example, one rig can now be used to develop up to a dozen wells in a single location. These efficiencies are further bolstered by strategic use of drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCS) that can bring supply to market quickly. Our Outlook is forecasting this winter’s daily production to average more than 101 Bcf/d, which is slightly more than last winter. Combined with a slight increase in Canadian imports and very low levels of LNG imports, we expect supply to put downward pressure on natural gas prices.

• Projections for the economy and natural gas storage are both putting downward pressure on prices. The U.S. is expected to enter winter 2 percent above the 5-year average with 3.7 Tcf of gas in storage, considerably more than last winter’s 3.5 Tcf levels, and the GDP growth is expected to be around 1.3 percent.

• Meanwhile, a winter that is 3% colder than last winter, and 3% colder than the last three winters, as well as an increase in demand is putting upward pressure on prices. Customer demand is projected to average 121.4 Bcf/day, a nearly 3 percent increase winter-over-winter, primarily in the export sector and residential and commercial sector.

2019-07-19 09:00 U:RRC News Release Range Announces Asset Sales That Will Total $634 Million

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today announced that it has agreed to sell a 2% proportionately reduced overriding royalty interest in 350,000 net surface acres in southwest Appalachia for gross proceeds totaling $600 million.  The two separate transactions are effective as of March 1, 2019 and apply to existing and future Marcellus, Utica and Upper Devonian development on the subject leases, while excluding shallower and deeper horizons.  The properties produced approximately 1.9 Bcfe net per day in the first quarter of 2019 and annualized cash flow associated with these overriding royalty sales is expected to approximate $48 million, based on first half 2019 pricing. 

Range also completed the sale of certain non-producing acreage in Pennsylvania for gross proceeds of $34 million that closed in June 2019. The properties sold included approximately 20,000 acres in northwest Armstrong County.  Sale processes to monetize additional non-core assets remain underway.  

The royalty interest transactions are scheduled to close during July 2019 with proceeds utilized to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.  The combined gross proceeds of $634 million will reduce total debt by approximately 17%.  Annual interest expense is expected to decline by approximately $30 million and offset a significant amount of the cash flow reduction associated with the royalty sales. 

“Following the expected closing of these transactions, Range will have executed a $1 billion reduction in absolute debt over the past 12 months as the Company strengthens the business through organic free cash flow generation and asset sales”, said Jeff Ventura, CEO and President of Range Resources.  “These asset sales once again highlight the significant intrinsic value of our assets.  Over the past year, Range will have generated asset sale proceeds that equate to approximately 75% of our current market cap through the divestment of assets with a net impact to annual cash flow of less than 4%.

Yet another TRY for a Bottom in NATGAS? (Or is it in place at $2.03 already?)

Larry Pesavento thinks we are near a bottom and once Natgas turns higher, it will run for a long time

Natgas down 1.3%. Crude was down 2.7%.  NatGas/WTI ratio rose again.  Will NG rally hard, when Crude rallies?

5 reasons to invest in Saturn Oil & Gas today > source

  1. Production has grown steadily after four major acquisitions coming out of the pandemic, increasing from 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMboe/d) in Q2 2021 to an estimated 38-40 MMboe/d between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, with more than 20 years of drilling inventory to keep operations running over the long term. This trajectory has been accompanied by 5.8x adjusted EBITDA growth from C$18 million in Q2 2022 to a quarterly record of C$106 million in Q2 2024 – almost C$400 million over the past year – providing the company with plenty of cash to pursue further growth.
  2. Profitability has grown meteorically over the past few years, swinging from a more than C$65 million loss in 2021 to net income of C$74.82 million in 2022 and C$290.62 million in 2023.
  3. Management has proven itself skilled at increasing operational efficiency, lowering operating and transportation costs by 23 per cent from 2021 to 2023 and royalties by 25 per cent over the same period.
  4. Saturn stock hasn’t reflected its underlying company’s profitable growth, having given back over 35 per cent since January 2022, suggesting an undervalued entry point.
  5. Saturn’s undervaluation is supported by the stock being worth C$7.33 per share based on proved, developed and producing reserves, C$10.63 based on proved reserves and C$16.11 based on proved and probable reserves, representing potentially exponential gains from the current share price.

While the oil and gas markets are unavoidably tied to the macro worries of the day, and Saturn stock will swing according to this sentiment over the short-term, the company’s track record affords it a high probability of coming out ahead over the long-term by continuing to increase reserves, production and cash flow in line with shareholder value creation.

Q2/24 results ahead of expectations while focus remains on H2/24 execution (Canaccord)

Tuesday after market, SOIL reported Q2/24 results ahead of expectations. Production of 30,127 boe/d came in ahead of our 26,432 boe/d forecast and consensus at 28,188 boe/d and CFPS of $0.52 also beat estimates of $0.39 (CGe) and $0.44 (consensus).

While the quarterly beat is a positive, we note that with the recent acquisition having closed on June 14, we look to Q3/24 results and beyond for full contribution from the acquired assets under the SOIL banner. The company continues to trade at a sizeable discount to its peer group, trading at 1.8x 2025E EV/DACF on our updated estimates, compared to the peer group average of 2.4x. With the successful recapitalization of its balance sheet (thereby unlocking more FCF in the near term), we believe that as the company builds a track record and demonstrates an ability to extract value from its existing asset base, that a multiple re-rate will be warranted.

We continue to rate SOIL a BUY and have increased our target price to $4.50 from $4.00, which maps to a 2025E EV/DACF multiple of 2.5x.

Highlights from the release:

Quarterly results. Q2/24 production averaged 30,127 boe/d, beating our 26,432 boe/ d forecast and consensus at 28,188 boe/d. CFPS came in at $0.52, also ahead of our estimate of $0.39 and the Street at $0.44. SOIL exited the quarter with net debt of $792M, in line with our forecast of $781M.

What is the significance of natural gas storage?

Dena Wiggins: Natural gas storage is an essential part of the winter supply portfolio that enhances physical reliability and helps customers to manage their costs. Natural gas is purchased and injected into storage during the spring and summer when it typically costs less. This year, it is expected that we’ll enter winter 2 percent above the 5-year average with 3.7 Tcf of gas in storage, considerably more than last winter’s 3.5 Tcf levels.

Globe says Saturn Oil & Gas reaffirmed at "buy"
2024-08-23 14:50 C:SOIL 2.46 News Release Saturn Oil may buy back up to 11.3 million shares

As of Aug. 21, 2024, Saturn had 204,198,643 common shares issued and outstanding and 113,068,253 common shares issued and outstanding after excluding common shares beneficially owned by directors and executive officers of Saturn and persons who beneficially own or exercise control or direction over more than 10 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of Saturn. The 11,306,825 common shares under the NCIB represent 10 per cent of the public float. (5.5%)

Pursuant to TSX rules, the maximum number of common shares that may be repurchased during the same trading day on the TSX is 46,032 common shares (being 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume of Saturn common shares for the six months preceding the date of TSX acceptance of the NCIB, which was equal to 184,131 common shares), subject to certain exceptions for block repurchases.

"The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Ventum Capital Markets analyst Adam Gill continues to rate Saturn Oil & Gas "buy," with an unchanged $7.50 share target. The Globe's David Leeder writes that analysts on average target the shares at $5.93. Mr. Gill sees Saturn Oil "finally flexing the FCF muscle" with the launch of a normal course issuer bid. Under the program Saturn Oil will be allowed to purchase about 11.3 million shares, or 10 per cent of the public float. Mr. Gill says in a note: "We see this as an important step to seeing the market recognize the company's FCF potential, which has been ignored given historically higher debt amortization. That said, with Saturn having an FCF yield of 24.2 per cent in 2025 on conservative strip pricing of $70 (U.S.)/Bbl WTI, well above mid/intermediate peers at 9.4 per cent, starting a return of cash program will be a key catalyst to get the market's attention

Outlook

Saturn has now started its largest drilling program in its history with four rigs concurrently drilling horizontal wells targeting light oil, with two rigs in Southeast Saskatchewan, one rig in West Saskatchewan and one rig in Central Alberta. In total the Company expects to drill approximately 82 net operated wells in 2024 with an objective to modestly increase production in the range of 1-5% and a primary focus of reducing net debt with free funds flow. The Company expects to pay down the new Senior Notes on their scheduled 10% annual amortization schedule (paid quarterly). Saturn expects to continue to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities that are complementary to existing operations with attractive development opportunities. As the Company de-levers, Saturn intends to implement strategies to return capital to shareholders, which may include dividends or share buy-backs.
