Quicksilver Resources Reports 2012 Third-Quarter Results
FORT WORTH, TEXAS (November 6, 2012) - Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) today announced preliminary 2012 third-quarter results.
Third-quarter highlights:
• | Completed an eight-well pad in the Horn River Basin in British Columbia; the company's wells in the Horn River Basin are estimated to be capable of producing in excess of 150 MMcfd |
• | Signed agreement with SWEPI LP, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, to jointly develop approximately 330,000 acres in the Sand Wash Basin in Colorado |
• | Advanced West Texas Project - completed Price Ranch #1 horizontal well in Pecos County with an initial production rate of 300 Boed; currently completing Vande Ranch State 1H horizontal well in Upton County |
• | Entered into new multi-year hedges; majority of expected 2013 and 2014 volumes hedged at a price in excess of $5 per Mcf |
• | Secured C$39 million reduction in letter of credit obligations in Horn River Basin and deferred pipeline completion to mid-2015 |
• | Secured financial covenant flexibility in Combined Credit Agreements, providing time to manage the balance sheet |
• | Advanced negotiations on two joint ventures |
“Quicksilver has made very good progress on reducing capital commitments, locking in solid price protection for the majority of the company's gas production for the next couple of years, relaxing debt covenants with our bank group, and attracting partners in our key development areas,” said Glenn Darden, Quicksilver's President and CEO. “We anticipate significantly reducing company debt with the proceeds from transactions we are currently working on.”
Financial Results
Adjusted net loss for the third quarter, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the 2011 period. Including the impact of non-operational items, the net loss for the third quarter was $652 million, or $3.83 per diluted share, compared to net income of $29 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Third-quarter 2012 results were impacted by a $547 million non-cash impairment of properties primarily due to lower average natural gas and NGL prices compared to the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, and a $284 million non-cash valuation allowance of U.S. deferred tax assets related to reduced likelihood of recoverability of future tax assets. Further details of adjusted net income are included in the tables following this earnings release.

Production
Production averaged 362 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfed) during the third quarter, which is 23 MMcfed lower than the bottom range of previous guidance. The variance from prior guidance results from the company restricting production in the Horn River Basin to match its contractual commitment in an existing third-party treating facility. The company expected the third party to commission a second treating facility, but the facility was delayed to an expected commissioning near year-end 2012, and may be further delayed into 2013. Accordingly, to mitigate the effects of this delay, the company is securing alternative treating and transportation arrangements on an interim and interruptible basis in the existing third party treating facility that will allow Horn River Basin production to be increased up to an additional 50 MMcfd beginning in December 2012.
Third-quarter 2012 production is down from 427 MMcfed in the prior-year quarter, but is up from 359 MMcfed compared to the second quarter of 2012. The decline from the prior-year quarter is primarily due to a reduction in capital activity, the natural production decline of existing wells, and the impact of completion activities in the Barnett Shale. The increase from the second quarter of 2012 is due to production growth from the Horn River Basin as the new pad was produced at elevated levels during the flowback period.
Revenue and Expenses
Production revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $158 million, down 24% from the prior-year quarter and up 5% from the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in production revenue from the prior-year quarter was caused by the production declines described earlier and lower realized prices for natural gas and NGLs. The increase in production revenue from the second quarter of 2012 was caused by higher realized prices for natural gas and slightly higher production volumes.
The average realized price for the third quarter was $4.73 per Mcfe, which excludes approximately $18 million, or $0.54 per Mcfe, of cash proceeds from certain previously restructured commodity derivative settlements that are not currently recognized in production revenue due to the impact of the hedge restructuring program from the first quarter of 2012.
Lease operating expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $22 million, or $0.66/Mcfe, compared to $28 million, or $0.70/Mcfe in the prior-year quarter and $22 million, or $0.66/Mcfe in the second quarter of 2012. The Barnett Shale experienced lower water hauling, compression and gas lift expense compared to the 2011 quarter resulting from cost containment initiatives and as certain higher cost wells remained shut-in during the third quarter. Lease operating expense in Canada decreased compared to the 2011 quarter due to a decline in well and compressor repair and maintenance expense. Lease operating expense is flat compared to the second quarter of 2012, but is $0.02/Mcfe higher than the upper-end of previous guidance due to restricted volume flow in the Horn River Basin.
Debt
At September 30, 2012, Quicksilver's total debt was approximately $2.2 billion. The company has approximately $552 million utilized under its Combined Credit Agreements as of that date.

In September 2012, Quicksilver and NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (“NGTL”), a subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Limited, entered into an agreement to delay the targeted in-service date of the Komie North pipeline and related facilities from May 1, 2014 to August 1, 2015 and revise NGTL's spend profile and Quicksilver's obligations to provide related financial assurances in the form of letters of credit. As a direct result, NGTL released C$39 million of letters of credit that were previously posted to the project. The next scheduled date to supplement letters of credit is April 1, 2014.
In August 2012, Quicksilver amended its Combined Credit Agreements, and as part of that process, accelerated the fall redetermination. Based on reserves at June 30, 2012, the redetermined global borrowing base was set at $850 million, the interest coverage covenant was adjusted downward to provide increased flexibility and other limitations were introduced, including increased interest margins and additional financial and other covenants.
Operational Update
Canada - Horn River Basin
During the third quarter, the new eight-well drilling pad began flowback activities, and each well is now capable of production. All eight wells significantly exceeded initial production expectations with individual flow rates between 23 MMcfd and 34 MMcfd at very high flowing pressures. Based on the strong initial flow tests, Quicksilver expects to see a significant improvement in the type curves, most notably for the Klua primary pay sections. Five Muskwa and three Klua wells were drilled on the pad. No further wells are planned to be drilled in the basin for the remainder of 2012 due to the productive capabilities of the eight-well pad.
The company believes the results from these wells, the continuous nature of the pay sections as shown in 3-D seismic and the pay mapping from the six exploration wells drilled on the northern part of Quicksilver's acreage are indicative of the continuity of the formation throughout the company's 130,000 net acre position.
United States - Barnett Shale
Quicksilver drilled 3 gross (3 net) wells and connected 9 gross (8.1 net) wells to sales in the third quarter. At September 30, 2012, Quicksilver had a remaining uncompleted well inventory of 23 gross operated wells that have been drilled in the Barnett Shale but await completion or connection to sales lines.
United States - Sand Wash Basin
In September, Quicksilver and SWEPI LP, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, signed an Acquisition and Exploration Agreement to jointly develop acreage in the Sand Wash Basin and to establish an Area of Mutual Interest covering in excess of 850,000 acres in the basin. SWEPI will pay Quicksilver an equalization payment for the excess acreage to be contributed. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to customary due diligence and other closing conditions.
In conjunction with the closing of the agreement with SWEPI, the company plans to participate in the drilling and completion of up to 5 gross (2.5 net) wells during the fourth quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter, the company drilled one well, completed one well, and re-completed one well. The two completions are currently on flowback and are being evaluated.
Quicksilver currently holds approximately 210,000 net acres in the Sand Wash Basin of Northwest Colorado, which the company believes are situated in the oil window prospective of the Niobrara formation. Upon closing of the Acquisition and Exploration Agreement with SWEPI, Quicksilver will hold a 50% interest in approximately 330,000 net acres in the basin.
United States - West Texas
In August, the Price Ranch #1 well in Pecos County was re-completed with a 1,500-foot lateral in the Third Bone Springs formation. The well produced at an initial rate of 300 Boed with 80% oil and 20% high-BTU natural gas.
The Vande Ranch State 1H well in Upton County was re-entered during the third quarter and is currently being completed with a 2,500-foot lateral into the Wolfcamp formation.
Quicksilver holds approximately 155,000 net acres across the Delaware and Midland basins of West Texas, of which the company believes approximately 105,000 net acres are situated in the oil window of the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs formations.
Canada - Horseshoe Canyon
Production from Horseshoe Canyon was 54 MMcfd during the third quarter. The company does not expect to drill any additional wells in Horseshoe Canyon during the remainder of 2012.
Capital Program
During the third quarter of 2012, the company incurred approximately $68 million of capital expenditures, of which approximately $48 million was associated with drilling and completion activities, $2 million for midstream activities, $7 million for acreage purchases, and $11 million for corporate and other purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total capital incurred was $359 million.
Capital incurred is projected to be approximately $389 million for full-year 2012, or $29 million greater than previous full-year guidance, which is due to incremental spending for drilling and completion activities and lease renewals in the Sand Wash Basin and West Texas, and incremental capitalized overhead related to the company's exploratory programs.
Hedging
In the third quarter, Quicksilver entered into new multi-year hedges. As of November 5, 2012, the company has 267 MMcfed of hedges in place for 2012 at a weighted average price of $6.02 per Mcfe, which covers approximately 80% of expected total equivalent production for the fourth quarter of 2012. The company's post-2012 natural gas swaps are as follows: 200 MMcfd for 2013 at $5.10 per Mcf, 170 MMcfd for 2014 at $5.08 per Mcf, 150 MMcfd for 2015 at $5.23 per Mcf, and 40 MMcfd for 2016-2021 at $4.48 per Mcf.

Fourth Quarter Outlook
Fourth-quarter average daily production volume is expected to be 330-340 MMcfe per day, resulting in full-year 2012 average production volume at 350-365 MMcfe per day.
For the fourth-quarter 2012, average unit expenses, on a Mcfe basis, are expected as follows:
· | Lease operating expense | $0.70 - $0.75 | |
· | Gathering, processing & transportation | 1.22 - 1.26 | |
· | Production and ad-valorem taxes | 0.20 - 0.22 | |
· | General and administrative | 0.50 - 0.53 | |
· | Depletion, depreciation & accretion | 1.10 - 1.14 | |
This guidance does not account for potential incremental volumes from the Horn River Basin if alternative treating and transportation options are secured.
