Breakout session at the EnerCom conference
During Talos Energy’s breakout session at the 2018 EnerCom conference, management was asked the following questions:
- On your presentation, you have a lot of red dots on the acreage. How many of those are still producing (i.e. first term, second term)?
- I was wondering if you could comment on your production philosophy. How do you balance between “drill bits” and “acquisitions”?
- Did you guys take a look at Cobalt International Energy’s assets?
- For those of us that aren’t in the details of the story, can you walk us forward through the next 12-24 months with well production and asset optimization?
- I’m not familiar with the Gulf of Mexico. When you pick up bigger producers, and they have the hold and so forth that you hook up into, do you have a new lease with them or go off an existing agreement?
- Are there pipelines out of these wells?
- Once you’ve found these drilling sites, how much does it cost you to get that into production?
- Can we talk a little bit about how much of your capital budget you’re spending in Mexico?
- And how are you going to balance between your US Gulf of Mexico and other assets?
- Did you mention your starting commodity cost inflation?
- Could you give some more details regarding your overall deep water infrastructure and assets?
- In terms of M&A, are you looking at all types of assets, or only deep water?
- Once you buy the buy these assets, and then use seismic data to reprocess, do you have to underwrite it?
- Is it possible to introduce us to some of this seismic technology? What’s the complexity of it?
- I’m looking at the book here, and it says you have 54 million shares afloat. How much do the management team and the public own as a result of the merger with Stone Energy between the “old” and the “new” company?
- I was wondering whether you could elaborate on your hedging strategy, your reasoning.
- Could I get some clarification on your developed reserves and undeveloped reserves? Specifically, how that ties into the valuation you presented, the percentages or weighting of each (developed and undeveloped)?
- Are performance probables something that’s come about recently?
- In terms of breakeven points, there seems to be offshore breakeven points and Gulf of Mexico breakeven points. Could we clarify the definition of breakeven points?
- Just on that return to shareholders comment, do you know in your timeline when you plan on being there?
