GUIDANCE

With a focus on capital returns, Permian Resources’ 2024 operational budget delivers a highly capital efficient plan that maximizes free cash flow and value for its investors. Assuming planned activity levels and current commodity prices, the Company expects its full year oil and total production to average approximately 145 to 150 MBbls/d and 300 to 325 MBoe/d, respectively. During 2024, Permian Resources expects its well productivity to remain strong year-over-year as a result of its deep inventory of primary Delaware Basin zones and methodical development philosophy.

The estimated fiscal year 2024 cash capex budget is approximately $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion, with approximately 75% allocated to drilling and completions with the remaining 25% allocated to facilities, infrastructure, capital workover and non-operated capex. Permian Resources expects to turn-in-line (“TIL”) approximately 250 gross wells, with an average working interest of approximately 75% and 8/8ths net revenue interest of approximately 79%. The Company also expects its average completed lateral length during 2024 to be approximately 9,300 feet. Importantly, the Company’s capital budget is underpinned by an approximately 10% reduction in D&C costs per foot expected when compared to 2023.

Through its continued focus on being a low-cost leader, Permian Resources anticipates total controllable cash costs of approximately $7.40 to $8.60 per Boe, consisting of $5.50 to $6.00 per Boe for LOE, $1.00 to $1.50 per Boe for GP&T and $0.90 to $1.10 per Boe for cash G&A. Notably, the mid-point represents an 11% reduction in total controllable cash costs compared to Permian Resources and Earthstone’s combined third quarter 2023 costs, demonstrating the Company’s ability to execute on its synergy targets.
