MIDLAND, Texas, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Concho Resources Inc. (Concho) or the (Company) today reported second quarter 2007 financial and operating results. Highlights include:
-- Production of 7.3 Bcfe, up 22% over the same period in 2006 -- Proved reserves increased to 506 Bcfe, up 8% from year-end 2006 -- Reserve Replacement rate(1) for the first six months of 2007 of 371% -- EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure reconciled below) of $46.5 million, up 17% from the same period in 2006 (1) The company uses the reserve replacement ratio as an indicator of the company's ability to replenish annual production volumes and grow its reserves, thereby providing some information on the sources of future production. It should be noted that the reserve replacement ratio is a statistical indicator that has limitations. The ratio is limited because it typically varies widely based on the extent and timing of new discoveries and property acquisitions. Its predictive and comparative value is also limited for the same reasons. In addition, since the ratio does not imbed the cost or timing of future production of new reserves, it cannot be used as a measure of value creation.
Production for the second quarter of 2007 totaled 7.3 Bcfe (730 MBbls and 3.0 Bcf), an increase of 22% as compared to 6.0 Bcfe (580 MBbls and 2.5 Bcf) produced in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, production totaled 14.5 Bcfe, representing a 56% increase over the 9.3 Bcfe produced in the first six months of 2006. On a proforma basis, as if the Chase Group Combination had occurred on January 1, 2006, production for the first six months of 2007 increased 24% compared to pro forma production for the first six months of 2006 of 11.7 Bcfe.
As of July 1, 2007, the Company estimates that its total proved reserves were 506 Bcfe (57% proved developed) utilizing a WTI posted oil price of $67.25 per barrel and a Henry Hub spot market natural gas price of $6.80 per MMBtu. The Company's estimate of its total proved reserves as of July 1, 2007 is based on the Company's internal reserve analysis and has not been prepared by, reviewed or audited by the Company's independent petroleum engineers. This total represents an 8% increase from year-end 2006 total proved reserves of 467 Bcfe (54% proved developed). The reserve estimate as of July 1, 2007 would have been reduced by approximately 6 Bcfe had the Company utilized year-end 2006 SEC pricing of $57.75 WTI posted oil price per Barrel and $5.635 Henry Hub spot market natural gas price per MMBtu.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Concho reported net income of $5.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, on revenues of $66.1 million, as compared to net income of $7.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, on revenues of $51.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. EBITDAX (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and accretion, property impairments, exploration expense, ineffective portion of cash-flow hedges and non-cash compensation expense) increased to $46.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $39.6 million in the same period of 2006.
Included in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and employee and officer bonuses totaling $2.5 million. The $5.9 million exploration and abandonment charge included $5.6 million of exploratory dry holes and $0.3 million of geological and geophysical expense. The Company's exploratory dry hole expense during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to three unsuccessful operated exploratory wells; one of which was drilled in the Western Delaware Basin in Culberson County, Texas, and the other two of which were drilled on the Company's Southeast New Mexico Basin properties in Eddy and Lea Counties.
Tim Leach, Concho's Chairman and CEO commented, "Our significant organic production and reserve growth in the first half of 2007 is primarily attributable to the continued drilling success we have had on our core New Mexico Shelf assets. We have recently added a fifth drilling rig on the Shelf and will continue to aggressively exploit these assets while focusing on enhancing returns by reducing drilling time, containing costs, and optimizing how we access these reserves."
Operations New Mexico Shelf
For the first six months of 2007, the Company drilled or participated in 32 wells (29 operated) on the Shelf, 21 of which had been completed as producers and 11 of which were in progress at June 30, 2007. In addition, the Company completed 30 workovers on the Shelf in the first half of 2007. Of the 32 wells drilled, 29 were drilled to the Blinebry interval, and of those 29 wells, 28 will be dually completed in the Blinebry and Paddock intervals ("combination well"). Since the closing of the Chase Group Combination in February 2006, Concho has drilled 81 wells to the Blinebry interval, 80 of which were completed as combination wells. For the full year of 2007, the Company plans to drill or participate in a total of 98 wells (87 operated) on its New Mexico Shelf assets, 84 of which are expected to be drilled to the Blinebry interval. In addition, the Company plans to complete 64 workovers on the Shelf in 2007.
In late June and early July, a natural gas processing plant through which we process and sell production from our New Mexico Shelf assets was shut-down twice for repair, first as a result of severe weather and a second time due to equipment failure. As a result, our second quarter production was reduced by an estimated 160,000 Mcfe, or 1.8 MMcfepd and our third quarter production will be reduced by an estimated 260,000 Mcfe, or 2.8 MMcfepd.
Due to the continued success of the Company's Blinebry drilling program, and in conjunction with its internal mid-year reserve study, we have now identified a total of approximately 1,304 drilling locations and 707 recompletion opportunities on our Shelf assets as of July 1, 2007. Of the 1,304 drilling locations, approximately 450 are expected to be combination wells, a significant increase over the expected 243 combination wells identified at year-end 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company achieved significant improvements in the reduction of drilling time on wells drilled to the Paddock and Blinebry intervals as compared to the second half of 2006. The decrease in drilling days, from 17 to 12 on average, is primarily attributable to efficiencies gained through a continuous drilling program and the application of new technologies in the area.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company operated four drilling rigs on its core New Mexico Shelf assets, and in late July a fifth rig was added in this area. In the second half of 2007, in addition to the five rig drilling program on our New Mexico Shelf assets, the company plans to initiate a 160 acre pilot water flood in the Paddock interval, re-frac at least four existing Paddock producers with modern fracture stimulation technology, and evaluate Paddock well deepenings and horizontal applications to access the Blinebry interval.
Emerging Resource Plays Southeast New Mexico
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company drilled a horizontal test well to a total vertical depth of approximately 6,500 feet with a 3,000 foot lateral in the oil window of the Wolfcamp horizon, and completed the well as a producer in mid-February 2007. The well initially flowed approximately 320 Boepd and is currently producing approximately 250 Boepd. The Company plans to drill 5 additional wells in this play during the remainder of 2007 utilizing a one rig program. In addition to the Wolfcamp oil play, the Company is active in the horizontal gas play that is being actively exploited along the Northwestern rim of the Delaware Basin. In the gas portion of the play, the Company's position is primarily non-operated and to date the Company has drilled or participated in one re-entry and seven drilled wells.
Western Delaware Basin
The Company has drilled four vertical exploration wells testing either the Atoka, Barnett, Bone Spring, or Woodford Shale formations or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had one exploratory well in the Western Delaware Basin of Texas on which the drilling had been completed for more than one year, with a total cost of approximately $6.1 million. This well has been completed in two of the four prospective formations that are being tested in the project area and has found both zones capable of producing gas in the vertical well bores; however, quantities found thus far are not commercial. The current evaluation being conducted on this well is to determine the viability of another one of the four prospective formations which is deeper than the formations to which the well has currently been completed. This formation is a shale formation that is productive in another of the Company's exploratory wells located in the Western Delaware Basin. If determined to be a viable target formation, assessing it would require re-entry into the existing well bore.
A second well drilled and completed in the project area was flowing gas to sales during its initial evaluation stage during the six months ended June 30, 2007. This well will be included in the evaluation of the viability of the additional prospective formation in the deeper horizon described above. Accumulated capitalized exploratory costs on this well of approximately $5.2 million have been capitalized for a period of one year or less.
The Company anticipates finalizing its evaluation of this deeper, prospective formation in these two wells by the end of the third quarter of 2007. Depending on the test results and our evaluation of the additional target formation, the costs capitalized for the completed wells could be charged to expense during the third quarter of 2007.
A third well in the prospect area was fracture stimulated in the Woodford Shale formation in early July and tested at a rate of approximately 1 MMcfpd. This vertical well is currently flowing gas to sales at a rate of approximately 800 Mcfpd.
The fourth well drilled in the project area to test the Bone Spring Shale formation has been abandoned and a charge of approximately $2.8 million was recognized as exploratory dry hole expense in the second quarter of 2007.
Central Basin Platform
In this unconventional shale play, located primarily in Andrews County, Texas, the Company has recently increased its acreage position to approximately 23,000 gross (22,000 net) acres. The Company plans to commence drilling operations on its first well in this play prior to year-end 2007.

On August 2, 2007, the Company announced the initial public sale of 20,887,107 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share, of which 13,332,851 shares were sold by the Company, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $139.3 million. Subsequently the underwriting group exercised its over- allotment option with respect to an additional 3,133,066 shares, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $33.9 million. Net proceeds aggregating $173.2 million, were utilized to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding indebtedness.
2007 Capital Budget
As a result of increased drilling efficiencies, and the additional wells expected to be drilled during 2007 as a result of those efficiencies on its New Mexico Shelf assets and due to increased leasing and drilling activities in two of its emerging plays, the Company has increased its 2007 capital budget 19% to approximately $183 million from approximately $154 million. Approximately 82% of the total capital will be allocated to exploration and development activities associated with conventional properties in the Permian Basin, with the remaining 18% being allocated to leasehold acquisition and exploration drilling activities on the Company's emerging resource plays.

EBITDAX (as defined below) is presented herein, and reconciled to the generally accepted accounting principle ('GAAP') measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities.
We define EBITDAX as net income, plus (1) exploration and abandonments expense (2) depreciation & depletion expense (3) accretion expense (4) impairments of proved oil and gas properties (5) non-cash stock-based compensation expense (6) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges (7) interest expense, the amortization of related debt issuance costs and other financing costs, net of capitalized interest, and (9) federal and state income taxes, less other ancillary income including interest income, gathering income and rental income. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flow as determined by generally accepted accounting principles.
Our EBITDAX measure provides additional information which may be used to better understand our operations. EBITDAX is one of several metrics that we use as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable assets, none of which are components of EBITDAX. EBITDAX as used by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by our management team and by other users of our consolidated financial statements. For example, EBITDAX can be used to assess our operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies, without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of our assets and our company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.
