Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
From time to time, senior management of Pioneer Energy Services (the “Company”) meets with groups of investors and business analysts. The slides attached to this report have been prepared in connection with management's participation in such meetings and participation in the GHS SoCal Energy Day on January 14, 2015. The slides provide an update on the Company's operations and certain recent developments, including forward-looking thoughts and comments for 2015.
Among others, the recent updates include:
Current drilling utilization is 77%.
Expect an additional ten rigs in the US to go idle by the end of the first quarter (primarily rigs drilling in South Texas and West Texas).
In addition, have received early termination notices effective in the first quarter related to seven rigs with termination payments expected to be approximately $22 million in aggregate.
Term expirations: (3) in the first quarter, (1) in the second quarter, (1) in the third quarter, (1) in the fourth quarter, and (1) in the first quarter of 2016.
In Colombia, executed contracts for five rigs to be extended through mid-2015 at a slight discount to current dayrates.
Remaining three rigs are expected to go idle in the first quarter.
Among others, the comments on 2015 include:
Capital Expenditures
Given the market outlook, expect capital expenditures for 2015 to be $195 million to $215 million, down from the original guidance of $250 million to $270 million.
Production Services
Expect production service activity levels to remain relatively high as operators focus spending on maintaining existing production.
Pricing pressure will be in place throughout 2015.
Drilling - US
All rig classes will experience some decreases in pricing and utilization, with the mechanical rig fleet most severely impacted.
Continuing efforts to sell 60-Series and mechanical rigs.
Drilling - Colombia
Executed contracts for five rigs to be extended through mid-2015 at a slight discount to current dayrates.
Actively marketing remaining rigs with multiple clients in Colombia to diversify client base.
