Total Company volumes for the first quarter of 2016 increased to 416 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), up 31 percent from the first quarter of 2015. Liquids comprised 45 percent (31 percent crude oil and condensate and 14 percent natural gas liquids) of first quarter 2016 volumes, with natural gas accounting for 55 percent. Compared to the first quarter of 2015, total liquids volumes were higher by 50 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d), split evenly between crude oil and natural gas liquids. U.S. sales volumes for the quarter totaled 306 MBoe/d, while International sales volumes were 110 MBoe/d. Total sales volumes were lower than produced volumes by approximately two thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d) due to the timing of liquids liftings in Equatorial Guinea.
A portion of the increase in total Company volumes for the first quarter of 2016 over 2015 was a result of the merger with Rosetta Resources Inc. (“Rosetta”) in July of 2015. The associated assets, including Eagle Ford and Permian Basin properties, contributed volumes totaling more than 60 MBoe/d in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding these assets, total Company sales volumes were up 12 percent compared to the initial quarter of 2015. This increase was driven by onshore U.S. horizontal completions and production optimization, as well as the startup of the Big Bend and Dantzler oil fields in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Higher Israel natural gas sales to satisfy growing demand for power generation also contributed to the increase. Sales volumes in West Africa, while lower than the first quarter of last year, were better than anticipated as a result of reduced downtime at Alba in Equatorial Guinea for the B-3 compression platform installation and turnaround activities.
David L. Stover, Noble Energy’s Chairman, President and CEO, commented, “We are off to a solid start this year and have made substantial progress on our goals for 2016. Our high-quality and diverse portfolio is delivering strong results, giving us the confidence to lower our full year capital and cost outlook while raising volumes substantially. We have aligned our business within cash flows and are continuing to protect our investment-grade balance sheet. Significant capital efficiency gains and outstanding operating performance, combined with robust liquidity, position us well in any price scenario.”
Total lease operating expense (LOE) and general and administrative (G&A) costs were essentially flat to first quarter 2015 levels, even with an approximate 100 MBoe/d increase in volume period over period. On a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, first quarter 2016 LOE averaged $4.25, down 22 percent from the same period in 2015, despite the impact of the Isabela workover in the Gulf of Mexico during the first quarter of 2016. Excluding this item, LOE per BOE was $3.63, down 34 percent period over period. G&A cost synergies from the Rosetta transaction are already exceeding the $40 million annual expectation.
Production taxes for the first quarter of 2016 included a $28 million accrual for the future refund of prior year severance taxes related to U.S. onshore assets. Transportation and gathering expense totaled $2.83 per BOE and reflected a change in accounting classification as all gas-processing costs are now reflected in transportation and gathering expense. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses for the quarter reflected higher Israel and West Africa volumes versus expectation. Exploration expense for the 2016 quarter included the majority of costs associated with the Silvergate well and various seismic and other geoscience costs. The Company’s income tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 37 percent, with essentially all of the total income tax provision being deferred.
Adjustments to the Company’s net loss for the first quarter of 2016 included unrealized commodity derivative losses, primarily related to existing crude oil hedging positions, as well as a gain on the extinguishment of debt resulting from the successful tender offer for prior Rosetta notes. Also included in adjustments for the quarter was the write-off of certain capitalized costs associated with a rig contract termination offshore the Falkland Islands.
OPERATIONS UPDATEDJ BASINSales volumes averaged 118 MBoe/d in the first quarter of 2016, up two percent from the first quarter of 2015. Liquids represented 66 percent of DJ Basin volumes (49 percent crude oil and condensate and 17 percent natural gas liquids) and 34 percent was natural gas. In the Company’s primary areas of activity, Wells Ranch and East Pony, combined volumes averaged nearly 65 MBoe/d during the quarter, up 34 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. Production volumes for the first quarter of 2016 were impacted by certain third-party facility downtime as a result of winter storms in late March.
Highlights include:
TEXAS (EAGLE FORD AND PERMIAN)Production volumes for the Eagle Ford and Permian assets averaged more than 60 MBoe/d in the first quarter of 2016. Liquids represented 64 percent of the total (28 percent crude oil and condensate and 36 percent NGLs), while natural gas accounted for the remainder. Eagle Ford production comprised 84 percent of the volumes and the Permian 16 percent.
Highlights include:
MARCELLUS SHALEProduction volumes in the Marcellus Shale averaged 573 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfe/d) in the first quarter of 2016, a 46 percent increase over the same quarter of last year. Natural gas represented 88 percent of first quarter 2016 volumes, with the remaining 12 percent primarily composed of natural gas liquids (NGLs).
Highlights include:
GULF OF MEXICOIn the Gulf of Mexico, sales volumes averaged 29 MBoe/d, a 91 percent increase versus the first quarter of last year. Crude oil and condensate represented 84 percent of first quarter 2016 volumes, six percent were NGLs and 10 percent natural gas.
Highlights include:
WEST AFRICASales volumes in West Africa averaged 65 MBoe/d, which were 43 percent crude oil and condensate, seven percent NGLs, and 50 percent natural gas. Production volumes for the quarter exceeded sales by approximately two MBbl/d primarily as a result of the timing of liquids liftings from Alba.
Highlights include:
EASTERN MEDITERRANEANIn the Eastern Mediterranean, Israel natural gas sales volumes averaged 266 MMcf/d, an increase of ten percent versus the first quarter of last year. Despite milder weather versus the 2015 period, higher volumes resulted from an increased dispatch of natural gas versus coal in the power generation sector and growth from industrial customers.
Highlights include:
OTHERHighlights include:
UPDATED GUIDANCEWhile remaining flexible to commodity environment changes through the remainder of the year, Noble Energy anticipates full-year capital expenditures to be less than the original estimate of $1.5 billion. The reduction is driven primarily by capital efficiencies in the U.S. onshore business. Total sales volumes for full-year 2016 have been raised four percent to an expected average of 405 MBoe/d, reflecting actuals from the first quarter and improved expectations for the rest of 2016. In the U.S., volumes have been increased as a result of improved productivity primarily in the DJ Basin, even with slightly fewer completions expected to commence production. Higher volumes internationally are driven by reduced Alba field downtime in West Africa and increased natural gas demand in Israel.
For the second quarter, Noble Energy expects capital expenditures between $350 million and $400 million with total volumes anticipated to range between 405 MBoe/d and 415 MBoe/d. Compared to the first quarter of the year, higher volumes are expected in the Company’s Texas assets, driven by the timing of well completions in the Eagle Ford, and in West Africa as a result of Alba field volumes. Natural gas sales in Israel are anticipated lower sequentially based on seasonal power generation demand, and volumes in the DJ Basin are impacted by a previously-scheduled facility turnaround maintenance at the Wells Ranch central processing facility.
Additional detailed guidance for the second quarter is provided in the Company’s supplemental slides for the quarterly conference call. The slides are available on the Company’s website.

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. The SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves, however, we have not disclosed the Company's probable and possible reserves in our filings with the SEC. We use certain terms in this news release, such as "type curve”, which are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including these estimates in filings with the SEC.
