Financial Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Comstock reported net income of $1.3 million or 3 cents per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to a net loss of $4.7 million or 10 cents per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The financial results include a gain realized from the sale of marketable securities of $2.5 million ($1.6 million after tax or 4 cents per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Comstock produced 26.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe") in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 53% over the 17.2 Bcfe produced in the third quarter of 2010. Comstock's daily production rate, which averaged 285 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("MMcfe") per day, grew 8% over the production rate in the second quarter of 2011, which averaged 263 MMcfe per day. Production from the Company's Haynesville shale operations increased 15% from the prior quarter, averaging 200 MMcfe per day in the third quarter and accounting for 70% of the Company's total production.
Comstock's average realized natural gas price decreased 4% to $4.09 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $4.24 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2010. The Company's average realized oil price improved by 35% to $87.55 per barrel in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $64.97 per barrel in the third quarter of 2010. The higher production level allowed the Company's oil and gas sales to increase by 50% to $119.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010's third quarter sales of $79.7 million. Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) increased 81% to $85.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $47.3 million in 2010's third quarter and EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses in the quarter was up 72% to $94.2 million from $54.6 million in 2010's third quarter.
Comstock had net income of $7.7 million or 16 cents per diluted share for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to net income of $1.0 million or 2 cents per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include a gain realized from the sale of marketable securities of $32.2 million ($20.9 million after tax or 46 cents per share), impairments of leasehold costs of $9.8 million ($6.4 million after tax or 14 cents per share) and a loss on early retirement of debt of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes or 2 cents per share). Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a gain realized from sale of marketable securities of $5.7 million ($3.7 million after tax or 8 cents per share).
Comstock's production in the first nine months of 2011 of 70.1 billion Bcfe was 25% higher than the 56.0 Bcfe produced in the first nine months of 2010. Natural gas prices have been weaker in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 2010's first nine months. Comstock's average realized natural gas price decreased 10% to $4.09 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $4.55 per Mcf for the first nine months of 2010. The Company's average realized oil price improved by 39% to $92.59 per barrel for the first three quarters of 2011 as compared to $66.54 per barrel for the first three quarters of 2010. With higher production and lower natural gas prices, oil and gas sales increased by 16% to $319.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 2010's first nine months sales of $276.5 million. Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) of $218.8 million in the first nine months of 2011 increased 25% from 2010's first nine months operating cash flow of $174.8 million. EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, increased 25% to $246.4 million in 2011's first nine months from EBITDAX of $197.9 million for the same period in 2010.
2011 Drilling Results
Comstock reported on the results to date of its 2011 drilling program. During the first nine months of 2011, Comstock spent $443.4 million on its drilling program and $52.6 million to acquire acreage to support future exploration and development activity. The Company is expecting to spend a total of $575.0 million in 2011 to drill 88 wells (47.4 net) and to complete 35 (23.4 net) Haynesville shale wells drilled in 2010. Comstock expects to spend a total of $125.0 million on acreage acquisitions in 2011. In the first three quarters of 2011, Comstock has drilled 67 wells (33.9 net) and completed 77 wells (44.2 net). As of September 30, 2011 the Company also had nine wells (4.9 net) in the process of being drilled.
In the East Texas/North Louisiana region, Comstock has drilled 52 wells (21.6 net) in 2011, 51 of which were Haynesville or Bossier shale wells. During the first nine months of 2011, Comstock completed 65 (35.7 net) of its Haynesville or Bossier shale wells. Wells completed in the first nine months of the year were put on production at an average per well initial production rate of 10 MMcfe per day. As of September 30, 2011, Comstock had 21 (8.9 net) Haynesville or Bossier wells waiting on completion, down from 35 wells (23.4 net) at December 31, 2010.
In the South Texas region, the Company has drilled twelve Eagle Ford shale wells (12.0 net) in the first nine months of 2011. Comstock completed eight wells (8.0 net) including one well that was drilled in 2010. These wells had an average per well initial production rate of 683 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day. In the third quarter of 2011, Comstock completed four wells in the Eagle Ford shale. The Cutter Creek #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 9,970 feet with a 4,824 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 575 barrels of oil per day and 0.2 MMcf of natural gas per day or 608 BOE per day. The Forrest Wheeler #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 11,142 feet with a 5,458 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 480 barrels of oil per day and 0.7 MMcf of natural gas per day or 597 BOE per day. The Rancho Tres Hijos "A" #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 10,911 feet with a 4,512 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 465 barrels of oil per day and 0.6 MMcf of natural gas per day or 565 BOE per day. The Jupe "A" #1H was drilled to a vertical depth of 8,282 feet with a 7,101 foot lateral. This well was tested at an initial rate of 197 barrels of oil per day and 0.1 MMcf of natural gas per day or 218 BOE per day. All of the reported well results were obtained while following Comstock's restricted choke program. Currently, Comstock also has five Eagle Ford shale wells that are being completed. Comstock has increased its Eagle Ford shale acreage in South Texas that is prospective for oil to approximately 28,000 net acres. Comstock completed lease acquisitions in the Eagle Ford shale that added approximately 6,000 net acres during October 2011.
2012 Capital Budget
Comstock also announced that it plans to spend approximately $396.0 million in 2012 for drilling and completion activities. Comstock expects to reduce the number of rigs drilling for natural gas in its Haynesville shale program to one from the three rigs that it is currently using. Comstock will add one drilling rig during 2012 to the two which are currently drilling for oil in its Eagle Ford shale development program in South Texas.
Comstock has budgeted to drill 71 wells (43.2 net) in 2012 as well as complete an additional 23 wells (20.3 net) which were drilled in 2011. Comstock plans to spend $104.0 million in its East Texas/North Louisiana operating region to drill 38 wells (13.3 net) which includes 37 (12.6 net) Haynesville or Bossier shale wells. $65.0 million will be spent to complete 17 wells (14.7 net) that were drilled in 2011. Comstock has budgeted to spend $207.0 million in its South Texas region to drill 32 (28.9 net) Eagle Ford shale horizontal wells in 2012 and $14.0 million to complete six wells (5.6 net) that were drilled in 2011. The remaining $6.0 million of expenditures in 2012 are budgeted for exploration and developmental activity on the Company's other properties.
"Our 2012 drilling program will focus much of our drilling activity on growing our oil production while at the same time staying within the operating cash flow that we should generate," stated M. Jay Allison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comstock. "To the extent that natural gas prices improve, we have the flexibility to increase our drilling activity in either the Eagle Ford shale or Haynesville shale depending on where we can generate the best returns."
