HOUSTON, May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO) today reported a first quarter 2017
net loss from continuing operations of $50 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
During the quarter, Marathon Oil entered into an agreement to sell its Canadian oil sands business, which is now reflected as
discontinued operations. The net loss of $4,957 million, or $5.84 per diluted share, includes the impact of certain items not
typically represented in analysts' earnings estimates and that would otherwise affect comparability of results, including a
non-cash, after-tax impairment charge of $4,962 million from discontinued operations. The adjusted net loss was $57 million, or
$0.07 per diluted share.
Highlights
- E&P production averaged 338,000 net boed, including 8,000 net boed from Libya
- North America E&P production averaged 208,000 net boed, flat sequentially on a divestiture-adjusted basis and above the
top end of guidance
- Increased production guidance ranges for 2017 E&P to 340,000 - 360,000 net boed and 2017 resource play exit rate to
20-25% (oil and boe) due primarily to the recent Northern Delaware acquisitions
- Average 30-day IP rate of 990 boed from STACK Meramec Yost spacing pilot (4,650 foot average lateral length), in line with
expectations
- Eagle Ford production up 5% sequentially with average completed well costs of $4 million
- Four Bakken East Myrmidon wells brought to sales with average 30-day IP rates of 1,875 boed (78% oil)
- Announced acquisitions totaling 91,000 net surface acres and 5,000 net boed of production in the Permian basin, primarily in
the Northern Delaware, for $1.8 billion, excluding closing adjustments
- Announced divestiture of Canadian oil sands business for $2.5 billion, excluding closing adjustments
- Ended the quarter with $2.5 billion of cash on the balance sheet
"We’re off to a strong start in 2017, highlighted by our transformative portfolio moves to enter the Northern Delaware basin and
exit the Canadian oil sands," said Marathon Oil President and CEO Lee Tillman. “With solid operational execution and strong well
results in the first quarter, we held production flat sequentially in the resource plays, and are well positioned to resume
high-return production growth there in the second quarter. We're on track to deliver our 2017 capital program, having ramped up
resource play activity from 12 to 20 rigs in the first quarter. We've also raised production guidance to reflect our Northern
Delaware acquisitions.”
North America E&P
North America Exploration and Production (E&P) production available for sale averaged 208,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per
day (boed) for first quarter 2017 with unit production costs of $5.79 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe). On a divestiture-adjusted
basis, production was flat with the prior quarter and down 4 percent from the year-ago period.
OKLAHOMA RESOURCE BASINS: The Company's unconventional Oklahoma production averaged 44,000 net boed during first quarter 2017,
compared to 45,000 net boed in the prior quarter and up more than 60 percent from the year-ago quarter. Of the 12 gross operated
wells brought to sales in the first quarter, five were part of the Company's first operated STACK infill spacing test, the Yost
pilot, and the others were focused primarily on STACK lease retention and delineation. The Yost pilot, located in the normally
pressured black oil window in central Kingfisher County, successfully tested 107-acre well spacing with completions of
approximately 2,500 pounds of proppant per lateral foot. The 30-day initial production (IP) rates from the five new
standard-lateral (SL) Yost wells and parent well averaged 990 boed (57% oil). The Company ended the quarter running seven rigs, and
plans to average approximately 10 rigs in 2017.
EAGLE FORD: Marathon Oil's production in the Eagle Ford averaged 99,000 net boed in first quarter 2017, up 5 percent compared to
94,000 net boed in the prior quarter, with oil production up 7 percent sequentially. The Company brought 47 gross Company-operated
wells to sales in the first quarter with average completed well costs of $4 million, compared to 52 wells to sales in the previous
quarter. More than 60 percent of the new wells targeted the Lower Eagle Ford in the high-margin oil window, and those wells
continue to deliver outstanding results. The Guajillo South four-well Lower Eagle Ford pad achieved 30-day IP rates averaging 1,690
boed (76% oil), and the Medina Jonas pad had 30-day IP rates that averaged 1,450 boed (84% oil). During the quarter, wells were
drilled at an average rate of 2,500 feet per day and a new Company-record was set at more than 4,000 feet per day. Marathon Oil
ended the quarter with six rigs and expects to maintain an average of six in 2017.
BAKKEN: In first quarter 2017, Marathon Oil's Bakken production averaged 48,000 net boed compared to the prior quarter's average
of 52,000 net boed. The Company brought online four gross Company-operated wells in the quarter from a pad in East Myrmidon, with
30-day IP rates averaging 1,875 boed (78% oil). Three of the wells were completed in the Three Forks formation, with one in the
Middle Bakken. The Company ended the quarter running seven rigs, and plans to average approximately six rigs in the Bakken in
2017.
NORTHERN DELAWARE: Marathon Oil closed on its acquisition from BC Operating, Inc. and other entities on May 1, and expects to
close its acquisition from Black Mountain Oil & Gas in the second quarter. The two deals combined add 91,000 net surface acres in
the Permian Basin, primarily in the Northern Delaware, and production that averaged approximately 5,000 net boed in the first
quarter. BC Operating brought five gross wells to sales during the quarter. Marathon Oil currently has one rig drilling in the
Northern Delaware and is ramping up to three rigs by mid-year.
International E&P
International E&P production available for sale (excluding Libya) averaged 122,000 net boed for first quarter 2017, down 5
percent from the prior quarter primarily due to planned and unplanned downtime in E.G. and the U.K., but up more than 20 percent
over the year-ago quarter. First quarter 2017 unit production costs (excluding Libya) were lower at $3.20 per boe primarily due to
timing of liftings. Equatorial Guinea production available for sale averaged 105,000 net boed in first quarter 2017 compared to
109,000 net boed in the previous quarter. U.K. production available for sale averaged 15,000 net boed in first quarter 2017, down
from 19,000 net boed in the previous quarter. Marathon Oil had two liftings in Libya, with production available for sale averaging
8,000 net boed in the first quarter.
Guidance
Marathon Oil expects second quarter 2017 North America E&P production available for sale to average 210,000 to 220,000 net
boed. Second quarter International E&P production available for sale, excluding Libya, is expected to be within a range of
120,000 to 130,000 net boed.
The Company is raising its full-year 2017 E&P production guidance range primarily due to the inclusion of production from
the Northern Delaware acquisitions. For full year 2017, the Company forecasts production available for sale from the combined North
America and International E&P segments, excluding Libya, to average 340,000 to 360,000 net boed, about 6 percent higher than
2016 at the midpoint on a divestiture-adjusted basis. U.S. resource plays are expected to return to sequential growth in second
quarter 2017, and exit the year with oil and BOE production 20 to 25 percent higher than fourth quarter 2016, providing significant
operational momentum into 2018.
Corporate and Special Items
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $501 million during first quarter 2017, and net cash
provided by continuing operations before changes in working capital was $513 million. Cash additions to property, plant and
equipment were $283 million in first quarter 2017. The Company paid $180 million in deposits into escrow related to acquisitions
during the quarter. Total liquidity as of March 31 was $5.8 billion, which consists of $2.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents
and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $3.3 billion.
The adjustments to net loss from continuing operations for first quarter 2017 total a gain of $62 million before tax, and
primarily consist of an unrealized gain on commodity derivatives of $77 million.
Marathon Oil added new derivative positions during the quarter. The Company has now hedged an average 51,000 barrels a day (bpd)
in 2017 through a combination of three-way collars with an average weighted floor price of $53.31 and ceiling of $59.70, indexed to
NYMEX WTI.
The Company's webcast commentary and associated slides related to Marathon Oil's financial and operational review, as well as
the Quarterly Investor Packet, will be posted to the Company's website at http://ir.marathonoil.com as soon as practicable following this release today, May 4. The
Company will conduct a question and answer webcast/call on Friday, May 5, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The associated commentary and answers to
questions will include forward-looking information. To listen to the live webcast, visit the Marathon Oil website at http://www.marathonoil.com. The audio replay of the webcast will be posted by May 8.
Non-GAAP Measures
In analyzing and planning for its business, Marathon Oil supplements its use of GAAP financial measures with non-GAAP financial
measures, including adjusted net income (loss) and net cash provided by operations before changes in working capital, to evaluate
the Company's financial performance between periods and to compare the Company's performance to certain competitors. Management
also uses net cash provided by operations before changes in working capital to demonstrate the Company's ability to internally fund
capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt. The Company considers adjusted net income (loss) as another way to
meaningfully represent our operational performance for the period presented; consequently, it excludes the impact of mark-to-market
accounting, impairment charges, dispositions, pension settlements, and other items that could be considered “non-operating” or
“non-core” in nature. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the business that, when
viewed with GAAP results may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the business and are a useful
tool to help management and investors make informed decisions about Marathon Oil's financial and operating performance. These
measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See the tables below for
reconciliations between each non-GAAP financial measure and its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Marathon Oil
strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their
entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Forward-looking Statements
