that he wouldn’t share any forward projections financials or customary disclosure statements But he did talk about a company that continues to push boundaries including teasing an 18-well project that had freshly come online in the southern portion of its Lea County Since initially acquiring acreage in the basin in 2018 Franklin Mountain has executed on 144 wells “The basin continues to push off to the right,” Walters said “Not only have we been able to develop this southern position but we've pulled off another very transformative set of acquisitions in late December of ‘22 This time we did two acquisitions in the same day to really form that northern position.” Walters said he wouldn’t go into details about the deal so as to “not to give up our competitive advantage.” “What I will say is the basin’s edge continues to push out and what we've seen is our increasing efficiencies on the drilling and completion side that means a lot of the inventory that was Tier 2 “yesterday is today’s Tier 1 locations.” Across Franklin Mountain’s 32,000 net acres (98% operated) the company has developed production averaging 50,000 boe/d The company operates a total of 170 wells with a deep inventory of Bone Spring and Wolfcamp formations Franklin Mountain’s laterals average about 2 miles or more in length “I really attribute that to the building blocks [of the company] … creativity conviction and flexibility on the creativity side not just the initial formation of the company but in some transformative trades and acquisitions that we've made along the way to provide us a much larger operated footprint,” he said Part of that patience involved waiting on an operated drilling program until all of its midstream pieces and critical infrastructure were in place is really to make sure that the only thing that's going to hold production back is the choke of the wellhead,” Walters said And Walters said he saw no sense in using third-party midstream operators “I don't want to offend any midstream companies in the room today but why would I pay you a high teens or low twenties rate of return if my cost of capital is lower than that?” he said “I have conviction around my production profile and I may find some other horizons out here ultimately that are going to take advantage of that fixed infrastructure The company also invested in what Walters broadly termed “technology and science,” including 3D seismic “from day one to understand well planning and geosteering.” some of that science was around pilot holes all in an effort to better understand the rock frac interactions and how to develop this acreage and maximize the value,” he said Some of those efforts led to the Bone Spring in the Avalon “and really those tests were a result of some of what we had learned with those science dollars that we spent,” he said in Franklin Mountain’s Gunbarrel project in southern Lea County the company brought Gunbarrel’s 18 wells online including the Third Bone Spring and Wolfcamp A “We have layered in some Third Bone Spring carb in this particular development and we're not ashamed to look across the fence at other operators in the area and see what they're starting to develop,” he said Franklin Mountain had previously drilled a single Avalon well which at the time was the farthest east anyone had drilled in the Delaware We wanted to follow that up in this particular project with two wells to have a semi-bound test,” he said Walters said Franklin Mountain’s team delivered solid execution on the project—drilling 75 miles and completing 34 miles “We've seen that subsequently on every project we do we continue to set records on the drilling side whether it comes down to ESG or taking on an 18-well project,” Walters said “We're not afraid to take this stuff on at the bigger boys’ town Walters declined to talk about specific results Walters told Hart Energy that the earliest well was brought online Aug “The costs came in very good and we’re encouraged by early results,” he said At EnerCom, Walters also said Franklin Mountain wanted to know how the company measured up according to independent data provider, Novi Labs “Franklin Mountain … is number three with regard to average 12-month cumulative oil across all basins we're here to run a business and that business needs to have margin but we also need to get a return on investment,” he added Stacked up against its peers in the Permian at $50/bbl the company's EBITDA margin is about 70% higher than five of its comparable rivals in the basin but also are you getting a return on that capital investment And that's really what's detailed by the recycler ratio here and that's both operationally and more importantly Darren Barbee is senior editor for Oil and Gas Investor magazine This conversation is moderated according to Hart Energy community rules.
