Forward guidance

Chord expects to spend $1.4B of capital per year for each of the next three years (2025 – 2027) to maintain flat pro forma FY24 oil volumes of 152 MBopd – 153 MBopd.

Tailwinds

  • Chord's three-year outlook reflects the improving capital efficiency of its program.
  • Supported by high-quality inventory.
  • Enhanced operational efficiencies.
  • Over $200MM of synergies from the combination with Enerplus.
  • Expects to generate approximately $2.7B of Adjusted EBITDA and $1.1B of Adjusted Free Cash Flow on a pro forma basis in FY24, with a reinvestment rate less than 60%.

Headwinds

  • Full year oil volumes updated to account for strong 3Q24 performance and the latest 4Q24 outlook, which includes the impact of October wildfires and recent A&D activity.
  • FY24 pro forma capital guidance reduced $10MM to $1.48B, reflecting program efficiencies and lower spending. 4Q24 capital reflects program timing and some deferred spending from 3Q24.
  • Full year natural gas and NGL volumes adjusted to reflect latest estimates on volume mix and activity deferrals in the Marcellus shale.
  • Lowering 4Q24 oil differentials to reflect continued pricing improvement in the Williston Basin. Adjusting 4Q24 natural gas and NGL realizations to reflect current market conditions.
  • Lowering FY24 LOE to reflect better than expected 3Q24 performance and improved 4Q24 outlook.
