Southwestern Energy presented at EnerCom’s The Oil & Gas Conference®

During Southwestern’s breakout session, management was asked the following questions:

  • Given the substantial cuts to capex in the first quarter and large layoffs, how do you get started again and get cash flowing?
  • How much is left on your 2018 debt outstanding?
  • What would your 2017 production look like with the cash flows from today’s strip?
  • How will capital be allocated between Fayetteville and North and South Appalachia?
  • How many rigs will be allocated between North and South Appalachia and Fayetteville?
  • On a county basis in the panhandle of West Virginia, how do you think about that acreage position?
  • Do the rig additions in NE PA and Fayetteville, how much does that stem decline in those areas?
  • How do you feel about the negotiated contracts and pricing for rigs in Appalachia?
  • Is there any hesitation to reaccelerate rig counts this year from five to 16 given backwardation in the futures curve?
  • When Boardwalk rolls off, do you think there would be netback? Do you pay any incremental penalties?
  • What do you see as the Lower Marcellus sweet spots?
  • What is the update on marketing the exploration JV?
  • How much of your scattered Northeastern acreage doesn’t work below $3.50 given current technology and basis?
  • Can you comment on the deep Utica potential, even though that is not where you are going?
  • What were your completion trends in the past year?
