Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
I mean that was a good project, and we have Patterson rigs out there on it and had some good engineers and did a really good job there, getting those wells drilled and completed, and it was a great operation, just while we're at it, go ahead and give a little shout out Patterson and everything they've done through the last couple of decades
And I want to just say again, for the record that we have a very high confidence level that they'll be on in the next quarter
On a go-forward basis, I think that deal will continue to have really good returns for us going forward into 2024
We're off to a great start so far this year and have a pretty favorable outlook for the rest of the year
It went very smoothly and we're delighted by how efficient and how the production and the rock have exceeded expectations
And that I think they'll be very successful
And these forecasts, they do tend to change, but I agree with Chris, things are going very well, and we have great confidence in the second quarter
And so good interest
And so I think we're very excited for those
We've been very pleased with those results, just as we've always said, those wells would come online with very high oil cuts, and I think we've certainly gotten that at average oil cuts of over 84%
And so I think that's a good feel for us
The first thing that I'd like to mention is simply that it's been a remarkable year in that production is up, revenues are up lease acreage is up 18%, inventory, of course, is up and our dividends are up
We do feel very confident that the issues will be resolved by the end of this quarter, and we'll be -- set ourselves up very nicely for the rest of the year
And our land group does a very good job at that, and they continue to add interest and add production that way
I think it is a little bit better than even what we were anticipating just as we continue to work through the kind of vague guidance that's out there, but we feel very confident in our current estimation that we won't be subject to the KMP, that alternative minimum tax that you referenced for 2024
We think that the land group has done a great job the last few years doing 200 deals a year and expect they'll continue to do that this year
I believe it's 21% growth in about 19 net wells and we're feeling very strong about those results, and I can't wait to get them online soon
Yes, we really like the First Bone Spring and the reason we're investing money in that specific interval is simply because the well results have been have been very solid even going back to many years ago with our kind of first tested the first ones bring at Marlin Downey in Eastern Antelope Ridge, we continue to delineate that zone kind of all -- kind of throughout the Northern Delaware Basin and feel very confident in those targets
And so it's really, really good acreage
And we've had very successful production results from those wells that even though they're U-Turn wells, they performed just like a straight 2-mile-long lateral, very high pressures and IP rates of between 2,100 and 2,400 BoE per day
We've been very pleased with the results, not just from those two tracks, but also some of the other properties that we have been drilling in that same area
And so they continue to build that brick-by-brick acquisition and add to our production, add to our reserves and do a fantastic job
So all around just a great, efficient program and drilling and completion both have been doing a great job
Mac is really good
And I think that's a lot of what we have to offer a consistent performance with a strong balance sheet with our leverage ratio less than 1, and we intend to continue to keep an eye on the balance sheet because we're shareholders, too, and look for ways to boost the dividend
They've continued to add with their technology and their operating systems and techniques and this is another one they were out there with us, had extra people out there to make sure it's a good successful operation
And when we come out, we'll have all that detail for you, but it certainly is a matter that's on our mind we think a good opportunity to go along with our other opportunities
And so we're expecting some similar numbers, a significant improvement from an operational efficiency standpoint by incorporating Trimul-Frac into the operational portfolio
You guided exit rate for 4Q oil was better than we expected
I think going through the year, we talked about those 21 wells will come on in the second quarter, and those really do help drive production higher
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Scott Hanold Up in the northern part of the Delaware, I mean, midstream constraint has been an industry issue
So everybody is working on the problem
So it's not a problem
And it didn't matter of well productivity
I'll just pile on to what Joe was saying in just the temporary nature of these this reduction in production for Q1
In 2023, as you noted, we were down about 1% on our current tax rate
It isn't huge
While costs are down, including LOE is down, drilling costs are down, G&A is down and the debt is down
We have not been down
