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 Goldman Sachs Global Energy Conference. The slides provide an update on the Company's operations and certain recent developments, which among others, include the following:
Overall
Finalized sale of three SCR walking rigs previously announced for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million.
Completed equity offering in December resulting in net proceeds of $65.4 million. All proceeds from the rig sales and equity offering were applied to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Current revolver balance is $39.7 million.
Fourth Quarter Guidance
Drilling Services margin per day expected to be at the high-end or exceed the guided range of $6,500 to $7,000.
Production Services revenue expected to be flat to down approximately 2% as compared to guidance of flat to up 3%.
Production Services gross margin % is expected to be approximately 13 to 16% as compared to guidance of 20 to 22%, due to start-up costs related to activity increases in late December and unanticipated costs associated with recovering well servicing drill pipe lost in a wellbore in December.
Despite lower production services margin guidance, we expect to maintain compliance with the credit facility covenants.
Drilling
Of the four remaining SCR rigs in the US, two were retired with components to be used as spare parts inventory, and two were designated as held-for-sale effective 12/31/16.
Current marketed US fleet is 100% pad-capable AC rigs.
Current utilization is 71% based on a fleet of 24 rigs.
Production Services
Well servicing fourth quarter utilization was 40% as compared to 41% in the prior quarter. Expect to put 10 to 15 additional rigs back to work by the end of January.
Coiled tubing fourth quarter utilization was 21% as compared to 22% in the prior quarter.
Reactivated five additional wireline units in late December to meet January demand.
The slides are included in Exhibit 99.1 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference. The slides are available on the Company's website at www.pioneeres.com.
