today announced fiscal second-quarter results and provided an operations
update on activities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Energy XXI Logo (EPR)
For the 2013 fiscal second quarter, Energy XXI reported earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) of $198.8
million, compared with $225.6 million in the 2012 fiscal second quarter. Net
income available for common stockholders for the 2013 fiscal second quarter
was $38.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, on revenues of $321 million,
compared with fiscal 2012 second-quarter net income available for common
stockholders of $93.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, on revenue of $341
million.
Production for the 2013 fiscal second quarter averaged 44,600 barrels of oil
equivalent per day (BOE/d), compared with 42,700 BOE/d in the 2012 fiscal
second quarter, and compared with 37,300 BOE/d in the 2013 fiscal first
quarter, which was impacted by Hurricane Isaac. Oil volumes for the 2013
fiscal second quarter averaged 29,400 barrels per day (Bbl/d). Current
production approximates 47,000 BOE/d, with another 5,000 BOE/d temporarily
offline due to various downtime issues, bringing total capacity to
approximately 52,000 BOE/d.
"Good operating margins driven by our oil-focused development program have
established a solid base going into the second half of our fiscal year,"
Energy XXI Chairman and CEO John Schiller said. "We continue the horizontal
drilling program, complemented by key exploration projects, focused on growing
reserves and production simultaneously."
Exploration and Development Activity
At West Delta 73 (100% WI/ 83% NRI), the Hyden well was drilled to 8,760 feet
true vertical depth (TVD)/11,700 feet measured depth (MD), including a
760-foot horizontal section in the G-20 oil sand. Hyden was placed on
production in January at approximately 1,700 BOE/d, gross. To date, Energy XXI
has drilled three successful horizontal wells in the West Delta 73
field. Proved reserves at each of the three wells are expected to approximate
1.2 million BOE to 2.0 million BOE per well.
In the Main Pass 61 field (100% WI/ 83% NRI), the Monte Carlo well was drilled
to 7,180 feet TVD/8,200 feet MD, logging 31 feet of net pay in the J-6 oil
sand. This high-angle well was completed and brought online within the past
week and is currently being evaluated. Monte Carlo was drilled into an
un-mapped portion of the structure, successfully extending the proved
reservoir and adding reserves. Additional wells will be drilled to determine
the extent of the reservoir.
The development program at Grand Isle 16/18 (100% WI/ 86% NRI) is ongoing.
Gelato, a potential horizontal location, is currently drilling at 9,200 feet
TVD toward a proposed depth of 10,600 feet TVD targeting the C-6 oil
sand. Another well recently drilled at Grand Isle, DrO, targeting the BF-2
sand, was temporarily abandoned and the wellbore preserved for a potential
future sidetrack.
At the South Pass 49 field, a successful workover was completed on the A-7
well (57% WI/ 47% NRI). Since March 2012, the well had been producing 2
million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas plus 60 Bbl/d of condensate
from the D-65 sand, which had never previously been produced in the
field. Frac packs were installed for sand control across the lower portion of
the D-65 reservoir, to separately test the upper portion of the D-65 not
previously perforated, and to gather more data about the reservoir and to
increase production rates. The well was recompleted in mid-December and has
been producing at a sustained rate of 17 MMcf/d and 20 Bbl/d of condensate.
The Pendragon well, located on Vermilion Block 178, is currently drilling past
10,482 feet (TVD)/ 11,577 feet (MD). The exploratory well is targeting
multiple sands on the south side of a salt dome, with a proposed total depth
of 16,300 feet TVD/ 20,400 feet MD. Energy XXI is operator, with a 50 percent
working interest (WI) and 40.6 percent net revenue interest (NRI).
Within the shallow-water ultra-deep exploration program with McMoRan, at the
Davy Jones discovery well, the rig is being moved off location for several
months while a large-scale hydraulic fracture treatment is designed to
penetrate the Wilcox reservoirs. Energy XXI holds a 15.8 percent working
interest (12.6 percent net revenue interest) in the Davy Jones discovery
well. Total net investment in Davy Jones through Dec. 31, 2012 was
approximately $140.9 million.
Blackbeard West #2 on Ship Shoal Block 188 has been drilled to 25,584 feet and
the rig has been released. A production liner has been set to enable
completion of the well. Logs and core data have identified potential
hydrocarbon-bearing sands between 20,800 and 24,000 feet. Initial completion
efforts are expected to focus on approximately 50 net feet of laminated sands
located at approximately 24,000 feet. Additionally, 80 feet of potential
low-resistivity pay at approximately 22,400 feet and an approximate 75-foot
gross section at 20,900 feet have been identified. Data acquired to date
indicate that a completion at these depths could utilize conventional
equipment. Energy XXI holds a 22.9 percent working interest and a 17.5 percent
net revenue interest in Ship Shoal Block 188. Total net investment in
Blackbeard West No. 2 approximated $28.6 million at Dec. 31, 2012.
The Lomond North ultra-deep prospect in the Highlander area, located primarily
in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, is drilling below 13,700 feet toward a
proposed total depth of 30,000 feet. The well is targeting Eocene, Paleocene
and Cretaceous objectives below the salt weld. Lomond North is approximately
65 miles north of Davy Jones. Energy XXI holds an 18 percent working interest
and a 13.1 percent net revenue interest in Lomond North, where its total net
investment approximated $10.0 million at Dec. 31, 2012.
The Lineham Creek exploration prospect, located onshore in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana, approximately 55 miles northwest of Davy Jones, is drilling below
the salt weld at 26,500 feet. The well is targeting Eocene and Paleocene
objectives below the salt weld with a proposed total depth of 29,000 feet.
Chevron U.S.A. Inc., as operator of the well, holds a 50 percent working
interest. Energy XXI holds a 9 percent working interest and a 6.75 percent net
revenue interest in the well. Total net investment in Lineham Creek was
approximately $13.6 million at Dec. 31, 2012.
Acquisition Activity
Energy XXI purchased McMoRan Exploration's interest in the Laphroaig field for
cash consideration, before closing adjustments, of $80 million effective Jan.
1, 2013. The consideration has been financed from Energy XXI's existing cash
and available revolver facility. Energy XXI previously held an 18.75 percent
WI in the field, and now holds a 56.25 percent WI and has assumed operatorship
of the assets. The acquisition adds 2,000 BOE/d of production to Energy XXI
from the field's two producing wells.
"This acquisition affords Energy XXI the opportunity to operate and lead
future development and delineation of this field, which we believe offers
significant upside to current proved reserves and production," Schiller
said. "The original Peterson discovery and Landers development wells to date
have produced approximately 60 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas, with
estimated recovery of 100 Bcf combined. The Duplantis well we intend to drill
this year offers the potential to recover an additional 100 Bcf."
Capital Expenditures
During the 2013 fiscal second quarter, capital expenditures, including
plug-and-abandonment and excluding acquisition costs, totaled $204 million,
with $45 million in exploration and $159 million in development and other
costs. Capital expenditures for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2013,
excluding acquisitions, are expected to increase to between $730 million and
$760 million.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(In Thousands, except per share information)
(Unaudited)
As required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
provided below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA. We define EBITDA
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"). Although not proscribed under GAAP, the company believes EBITDA is
relevant because it helps investors to understand the company's operating
performance and makes it easier to compare its results with other oil and gas
exploration and production companies that may have different financing and
capital structures or tax rates. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation
of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating
performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. EBITDA, as the company calculates it, may not be comparable to
EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA does not
represent funds available for discretionary use.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income
available for common stockholders to our consolidated EBITDA for the periods
presented.
