Dr. Beeper: the hedges are a financial contract that don’t actually require the production of barrels. If they’re hedges with BP -and don’t have the bank as a counter party, I don’t see why there would be a problem. If the wells are as prolific as you describe, there’s not much likelihood that they’ve hedged 100% of the expected production from the new wells as most credit facilities frown upon greater than 75-80% coverage of actual produced PDP volumes. I just went through a similar situation with 3 wells coming online at the end of the year. I didn’t hedge until I got too nervous to roll naked on the production and didn’t have any early decline to model. We’ve ended up slowing our ESPs down to maximize hedge coverage, essentially self curtailing. In this case, with the hedges in the money and no completion on the new wells, I would be inclined to believe the banks would waive the coverage percentage as long as excess proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings. Ultimately, I think we’re going to need some people to step up in leadership and state it’s in in the best interest of the domestic producers to slam on the breaks and self curtail before we see low single digits. Unfortunately, I think demand is off 30% and will be for at least another 2 months, especially if we’re quarantined into the summer. We need to avoid maxing out storage ASAP, because it’s inevitable. We can do it voluntarily or be forced to do it when we have to shut in due to the evaporation of takeaway capacity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
