Evolution Petroleum Maintains 4.5% Dividend

Evolution Petroleum (ticker: EPM) presented at EnerCom’s The OilServices Conference 14 in San Francisco on March 9, 2016. Evolution’s principal assets include a CO2-EOR project in Louisiana’s Delhi Field and patented technology designed to extend the life and increase ultimate recoveries of depletion drive oil and gas wells. The company reported an 18% decrease in Delhi lifting costs to $16.37 per barrel.

Evolution Petroleum has maintained a unique position in the industry as a debt free non-operator with a working interest and a royalty interest in the company’s acreage. This flexibility has afforded them the ability to generate cash flow while still being very selective about their participation in new projects. A key focus of the company has been to return cash to shareholders which has been accomplished through maintaining a dividend yield of 4.5% (as of 3/1/2016) even in a depleted commodity environment.

Evolution has achieved a positive net income in the quarter ending 12/31/2015, and a positive net income over the trailing twelve month period.

The company’s participation in the Delhi Field gives them an asset with a long-life production forecast, with peak production expected to occur in 2020, and peak production on a 2P basis not until 2026. In addition to the life of these assets, the developments costs that remain are low, at just $7.07 per BOE on for 2P reserves.

The Delhi Field is on a CO2 flood, and the LOE expenses associated with the property pertain to the CO2. However, Evolution has managed the process well through the course of 2015 and reduced LOE costs from $19.19/BOE to $13.44/BOE during that time frame. The increased efficiency of the field will translate into future costs savings as well.

Evolutions next big project is an NGL plant that is currently under construction and expected to come online in 2016. The additional production capacity for natural gas liquids is expected to yield 2,000+ BOEPD for the company. The methane that is extracted form he field will be used as a fuel source instead of being taken to market and will allow Evolution to realize even greater cost savings from the operation of the NGL plant.
