The earnings call highlighted significant operational improvements, particularly in drilling efficiency and the potential of the Deep Utica play. However, these positives are counterbalanced by uncertainties related to regulatory outcomes for new technologies and delays in certain initiatives, leading to a cautious outlook.
Company Guidance
During the CNX Resources Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance on several key metrics, though some details were deferred until the next quarter. For 2025, the company plans to disclose full production volumes and associated capital expenditures, with flexibility around the development of 11 deferred drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) depending on gas pricing. The efficiency of operations remains similar to or better than previous levels. On the New Technologies front, CNX awaits regulatory clarity on 45V and 45Q tax credits, which could impact coal mine methane capture opportunities and associated capital expenditures. The company has deferred detailed projections for these segments until further regulatory guidance is received. Additionally, despite recent stock price increases, CNX indicated it continues its disciplined capital allocation process, keeping all options open, including share buybacks and dividends, depending on market conditions. On operational aspects, the company noted a 31% reduction in Utica well costs from 2023, suggesting improvements in drilling efficiency and cost management.
Improved Operational Efficiency
Drilling costs have decreased by 38% from $1,200 per foot to $750 per foot, leading to an overall well cost reduction of 31% compared to 2023.
Strong Deep Utica Performance
Deep Utica wells are highly prolific, producing 20 Bcf 7 times faster than comparable Southwest PA wells, showcasing significant potential.
Flexibility in Capital Allocation
The company maintains significant flexibility with its balance sheet and hedge book, keeping all capital allocation opportunities open.
