Excerpt from Management's Discussion and Analysis
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015
OUTLOOK
In the fourth quarter oilfield service activity continued to deteriorate as the active rig count in the US decreased by 17% from the third quarter and ended 2015 at 698 operating rigs. Through the end of February 2016 it has fallen to 502 working rigs, or a decrease of almost 1,200 from year ago levels. This rapid decrease in drilling activity has forced contractors to compete aggressively on price. In most resource plays spot day rates are down 35% to 45% from 18 months ago.
Despite the significant decrease in drilling rig activity, US oil production levels remained resilient through 2015. Total lower 48 production ended the year at 8.7 million barrels per day which was down from the June peak of 9.2 million barrels of production per day. The slower than forecast decrease in production has led to record levels of oil in storage and a further leg down in oil prices. As such, customer capital budgets have been decreased significantly in 2016 with most announcements in the range of 40% to 50% reductions from 2015 levels. This should lead to faster production declines in 2016 and the potential for a bottoming in oil prices. Oilfield service activity levels will likely remain depressed in 2016 with the potential for increased utilization in 2017. However, it is likely that pricing will remain down even after utilization begins to increase due to the large over supply of drilling and completion equipment.
Xtreme management moved quickly to decrease the Company's operating cost structure at the first sign of slowing activity levels in 2014. This early action along with subsequent measures helped to position the Company for the prolonged nature of the current downturn. The focus in 2016 will be to further solidify the balance sheet and maximize liquidity. As this cycle lingers liquidity will be even more important and could open up opportunities to acquire distressed assets or companies. When activity levels begin to improve it is clear that asset quality will be paramount. The drilling market has made what appears to be a fundamental shift to tier 1 rigs. According to industry sources the AC tier 1 rig count now stands at 257 active rigs or 60% of the total rig count. This is an all-time high market share for AC rigs and evidence that increased efficiency drives value. In most unconventional basins rig efficiency has significantly decreased well costs and allowed operators to drill up to 50% more wells per year than just three years prior. Xtreme's entire fleet of 21 drilling rigs are highly efficient AC electric tier 1 rigs.
In the Company's core US coiled tubing markets of the Eagle Ford and the Permian, customer preference has clearly shifted to larger diameter coiled tubing. This represents a complete change in mindset from 2012 when Xtreme first introduced 2 5/8" coil in Texas and 2" and smaller coil units dominated the market. The Company has now completed over 1,200 jobs and 82,000,000 round trip running feet over the past 3.5 years; the most of any large coil provider in the Eagle Ford or Permian. Due to the challenged environment it is likely that utilization and pricing will remain weakened as the rig count in the Eagle Ford has fallen by 129 rigs to just 29 currently operating. In addition, it is estimated that a drilled but uncompleted inventory of 3,000 wells currently exists in the Eagle Ford and West Texas. This has compounded the reduction in completion activity. However, as the industry begins to stabilize it is likely that most companies will initially focus on completing the significant inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells. These have the quickest cash conversion and lowest amount of capital outlay. For this reason we believe Xtreme's coiled tubing activity should increase before the Company's drilling activity.
Internationally the push for increased technology is expected to continue. Most international operators have not deployed the level of technology and thus achieved the same levels of efficiency as many US operators. The push in Saudi Arabia is for greater efficiency through the integration of technology across the service spectrum. The underbalanced coiled tubing drilling project that Xtreme is currently working on continues to produce outstanding performance and results. The Company is working harder than ever to leverage this success into increased revenue in Saudi and throughout the region.
Overall, Xtreme's leadership team has managed through both upswings and down markets. We understand the importance of cost management and a strong balance sheet in challenging times. The recent extension of the Company's credit facility provides the Company with continued balance sheet stability. In addition, the Company's leverage ratios are among the lowest in the industry, particularly as compared to similar sized competitors. Finally the industry leading XSR coil technology and 100% AC electric XDR drilling fleet is among the highest spec asset base in the industry. These factors should allow Xtreme to weather the current downturn and emerge as a stronger Company in the next up cycle.
