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 2018 Johnson Rice Energy Conference. The slides provide an update on the Company's operations and certain recent developments, which among others, include the following:
Third Quarter Update and Revised Guidance
Recently extended four drilling contracts, all at higher dayrates. Three of the rigs were each extended for one year, and one rig was extended for two years.
International drilling utilization estimated to be approximately 76% to 80% versus previous guidance of 85% to 87% primarily due to higher than anticipated unpaid standby time and one rig released in mid-September due to a change in an operator's drilling program. This rig is currently being bid to several operators for reactivation in the fourth quarter.
Production services revenues is estimated to be down 5% to 7% sequentially versus previous guidance of down 3% to 5%. In addition, gross margin as a percentage of revenue is estimated to be approximately 21% to 23% versus previous guidance of 23% to 25%. Both revenue and gross margin percentages are down due to softer than expected activity in wireline.
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.
