Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
I’m pleased that our 2023 wells achieved a 10-time production increase and delivered higher post refrac rates than the wells delivered at initial production
We continue to generate strong cash flow
It comes with an FPSO that sits in that field, a very highly successful FPSO with incredible cost structure and uptime
Offshore competitive advantage is reinforced with our significant recent progress success – project success rather at Khaleesi Mormont Samurai fields in the Gulf of Mexico
We had a very successful lease sale in that area and up near the Delta House area where we had a lot of competition, we were able to have success on all of our competitive blocks, but one, so really good lease sale and a big nice inventory, especially around Delta House and especially around Oso
We've been able to more than double our long-standing dividend from 2021 as well as significantly reduce long-term debt
The recognition of our debt reduction efforts over the past two years along with our great execution success, especially in the Gulf of Mexico, we recently received a credit rating upgrade to BB+ with a stable outlook from S&P Global
Our efforts to on maintaining strong well performance and uptime led to Murphy's first quarter production volumes of 172.5 M [ph] barrels equivalent per day exceeding the upper end of our guidance
In the Gulf of Mexico, our team brought online the Samurai 5 well obtained in the quarter, we've been able and the well is produced above expectations this past month
So it’s a win across the board for us, and the partners are a great relationship with these partners and they see us as a good operator and we execute the well farm at a low working interest and everybody wins today, Paul
And we see it as an ability to control the field, operate the field efficiently, safely and increase our working interest due to our operating skill and then lower the operating expenses of the facility
So we’re pretty excited about our development opportunities as well as the exploration opportunities that Roger highlighted
So it comes with positive differentials and a many positive things for us
On Slide 4, exceeding guidance for the first quarter across all of our assets due to stronger well performance production of 172.5 M [ph] equivalent per day consisted of 94,000 barrels of oil per day, which represents a 25% oil growth since the first quarter of 2022, our highest first quarter production level since 2020
And we’ve very successfully executed our plans with their efforts
Our strong Gulf Mexico business continues to lead the way with great execution and well performance and is supported by our multi-decade sustainable onshore business
Our continued operational success generates strong cash from operations including non-controlling interest of $280 million, which also reflects $124 million of our contingent consideration payments made in the quarter
So we're really proud of it
I’m pleased that Murphy recently received a credit rating upgrade to BB+ with a stable outlook from S&P Global, reflecting our operational excellence and our commitment to debt reduction
We're probably not going to see production levels from that, but we're very happy about where we are
We're really excited
And we've had great success with it
This represents a significant improvement from four years ago
So it looks like a good opportunity for us
It was good commentary back and forth and really appreciate that support and that we’re here executing another quarter and we’re doing very well and very proud of how we’re running our business today
So these are significant successful long-term fields for us and we’re well positioned there to make a lot of free cash flow in East Coast Canada
And well, so this is a very positive for us
And also, as we highlighted on our call today, we're getting nice production uplift and reserve recovery from those refracs
Late in the quarter, we brought online the Samurai 5 well and have seen production exceeding expectations
I think that’s very positive for us and sets us up in the second half to really execute on this framework that we have
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
After accounting for net property additions, we had negative adjusted cash flow of $66 million, which is a reflection of our forecasted capital program being heavily weighted to the first quarter
It's going to be difficult, very difficult to produce more than that headline we had today
land, but offshore it’s still a lot of upward pressure
As previously disclosed, Murphy temporary suspended drilling on the Oso number one exploration well in Atwater Valley 138 in the Gulf of Mexico
If you compare that to our current completion design of 2,800 to 3,400 pounds per foot, they look quite a bit understimulated
So are you guys – what should we expect going forward? It would seem to me that you're kind of knocking up against the ceiling of what that facility could do
