WAYZATA, Minn., Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

  • 32% Production Increase Over the Second Quarter of 2011
  • 111% Production Increase Over the Third Quarter of 2010
  • Record Production, Revenue, Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE/AMEX: NOG) ("Northern Oil") today announced record third quarter oil and gas sales of approximately $43.7 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, Northern Oil had net income of $28.6 million, or $0.46 per fully diluted share. Excluding the effect of unrealized mark-to-market gains from oil hedges, Northern Oil had net income of $11.9 million, representing $0.19 per fully diluted share.  The increase in net income, excluding the effect of unrealized mark-to-market gains from oil hedges represents a 141% increase from the third quarter of 2010 and a 54% increase from the second quarter of 2011.

ADDITION OF NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Northern Oil today announced that Thomas W. Stoelk will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer effective December 12, 2011.  Mr. Stoelk, 56, joins Northern Oil after having served since June 2005 as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Superior Well Services, Inc., an oil and gas well service company traded on NASDAQ until its sale in 2010 to Nabors Industries.  From 1999 to 2005, Mr. Stoelk served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC, an independent oil and gas producer.  From 1994 to 1999, Mr. Stoelk served as Senior Vice President, Finance & Administration of Range Resources Corporation, an independent oil and gas producer listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Prior to joining Range Resources, Mr. Stoelk was a Certified Public Accountant and a Senior Manager with Ernst & Young LLP.  Mr. Stoelk will replace Chad Winter, who has served as Chief Financial Officer since March 2010. Mr. Winter will remain with Northern Oil in the role of Vice President of Finance.

Michael Reger, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely excited to add Tom to the Northern Oil team, and believe he will add a wealth of experience and expertise to our rapidly growing company.  We believe Tom's skill set will fit perfectly with the objectives of our company going forward.  We thank Chad for his service as Chief Financial Officer and look forward to his continued contribution in his new role at our company."  

2011 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Oil and gas sales for the third quarter of 2011 were approximately $43.7 million, which represents a 181% increase from the third quarter of 2010 and a 23% increase from the second quarter of 2011.

Production volumes for the third quarter of 2011 were a quarterly record of 528,362 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"), which represents a 111% increase compared to the third quarter of 2010 and a 32% increase compared to the second quarter of 2011.  These production results are within the range of our previously issued guidance.  

Average daily production in the third quarter of 2011 was approximately 5,900 BOE per day ("BOEPD").  September 2011 daily production averaged approximately 7,000 BOEPD. Third quarter 2011 production consisted of approximately 93% crude oil and 7% associated natural gas and other liquids.  

During the third quarter of 2011, Northern Oil added production from 88 gross (5.7 net) wells.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, Northern Oil added production from 216 gross (17.4 net) wells.  Northern Oil is currently participating in an additional 201 gross (22.8 net) Bakken or Three Forks wells drilling, awaiting completion or completing as of November 4, 2011.  

During the third quarter, Northern Oil spud approximately nine net wells. From October 1, 2011 through November 4, 2011, Northern Oil has spud an additional five net wells, bringing the cumulative net wells spud in 2011 to 31 through November 4, 2011.  Northern Oil reaffirms that it expects to spud at least 40 net wells in 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, Northern Oil realized an $81.53 average price per barrel of crude oil (after the effect of settled oil derivatives), compared to a $69.64 average price per barrel of crude oil (after the effect of settled oil derivatives) during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Northern Oil realized a $79.22 average price per barrel of crude oil (after the effect of settled oil derivatives), compared to a $69.85 average price per barrel of crude oil (after the effect of settled oil derivatives) during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Production expenses for third quarter 2011 were $6.57 per BOE, compared to $4.19 per BOE for the third quarter of 2010 and $5.94 per BOE for the second quarter of 2011. The increase in production expense is primarily due to exposure to new operators and new development areas, mature wells utilizing artificial lift and the general aging of production.

Depletion expense for third quarter 2011 was $10.7 million, or $20.34 per BOE, compared to $8.3 million, or $20.83 per BOE, for the second quarter of 2011.  The decrease in depletion expense per BOE is primarily due to the increase in our proved reserves relative to acreage and well development costs related to estimates of our proved reserves.

General and administrative expense, net of share based compensation, for third quarter 2011 was $1.9 million, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Share based compensation for the third quarter 2011 was $2.2 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2011 was $31.9 million, or $0.51 per fully diluted share, which represents a 150% increase over Adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter 2010 and a 40% increase compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Northern Oil defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) accretion of abandonment liability, (v) pre-tax unrealized gain and losses on the mark to market of derivative instruments and (vii) non-cash expenses relating to share-based payments recognized under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718.  Net income excluding unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains or losses and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.  Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our accompanying financial tables found later in this release.  Northern Oil's management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of Northern Oil's financial performance.  Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, and unrealized commodity gains and losses, which management believes are not indicative of Northern Oil's core operating results.  In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by Northern Oil's management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern Oil's performance, and management believes that Northern Oil is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.  

DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY

As of September 30, 2011, Northern Oil had a total volume of open commodity swaps consisting of 1,222,000 barrels of oil at a weighted average price of approximately $89.29 that settle between October 2011 and December 2012. 

In addition to the swaps, as of September 30, 2011, Northern Oil had 108,000 barrels of crude oil collared between $85.00 and $101.75 that settle between October 2011 and December 2011. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, Northern Oil entered into two additional costless collars. As of November 7, 2011 Northern Oil also had the following production volumes secured through the use of costless collars settled in WTI NYMEX pricing.

ACREAGE UPDATE

During the third quarter of 2011, Northern Oil acquired leasehold interests covering an aggregate of 6,300 net mineral acres for an average of $1,880 per net acre and an aggregate cost of approximately $11.8 million.  As of September 30, 2011, Northern Oil controls more than 158,000 net acres in the Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks play.

As of November 4, 2011, Northern Oil has approximately 58,000 net acres either developed (held by production) or under the bit, which represents approximately 37% of Northern Oil's total Bakken and Three Forks acreage position at September 30, 2011.

FOURTH QUARTER PRODUCTION GUIDANCE

Northern Oil currently expects to increase production by approximately 25% to 35% in the fourth quarter of 2011 over the third quarter of 2011, assuming typical weather scenarios in the Williston Basin in November and December.  This expectation is based on robust recent completion activity and the higher average working interest per completed well that Northern Oil expects to see in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011.

** The "IP" means the initial production ("IP") rate expressed in barrels of oil equivalent per day. The IP rate is the 24-hour "Peak Production Rate." Peak Production Rates may be established following the initial day of production, depending on operator design or well flowback profiles. The IP rate may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at this time. The IP is computed using barrels of oil equivalent.

SAFE HARBOR

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").  All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements.  When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes.  Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the regions in which our Company conducts business, oil and gas prices, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our Company's operations, products, services and prices.  

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events.  While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
