Centennial Resource Development (CDEV) Tops Q2 EPS by 3c

Centennial Resource Development (NASDAQ: CDEV) reported Q2 EPS of $0.24, $0.03 better than the analyst estimate of $0.21.

“As evidenced by our results, we continue to deliver some of the best wells in Reeves County and remain on track to achieve our full-year production targets with lower unit costs. These strong operational reports were somewhat offset by the impact of the timing of completions in addition to higher than anticipated volumes shut-in by offset frac jobs. With approximately half of our second quarter completions coming online in June, the production impact from these wells was only minimal during the quarter,” said Mark G. Papa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

NGL volumes increased 50% to 12,389 Bbls/d compared to the first quarter 2018 and accounted for 22% of total equivalent volumes compared to 15% in the prior quarter. The increase was attributable to the Company’s primary gas processor shifting to ethane recovery during the quarter and extracting additional liquids from the gas stream to provide enhanced economics for a portion of our production.

“The change to ethane recovery was solely an economic decision, and we recognized higher revenue as a result,” Papa said. “The increase in NGL volumes increased our overall equivalent production causing oil as a percentage of total production to decline quarter-over-quarter, but had no effect on actual oil volumes.”
