Operational Update
Higher production and higher prices for crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids all contributed to higher earnings in 1Q22, as compared to 1Q21. 1Q22 total net production was 23.2 MMBoe, a 43% increase from 16.2 MMBoe in 1Q21. Average net daily production increased to 257.5 MBoe per day (61% oil) during 1Q22, as compared to 179.9 MBoe per day (62% oil) during 1Q21. During 1Q22, the Company’s average realized price before the effects of hedges for hydrocarbon production sold was $67.19 per Boe and the Company’s average realized price after the effects of hedges for hydrocarbon production sold was $60.11 per Boe. Benchmark pricing for 1Q22 included NYMEX WTI at $94.29Bbl and NYMEX Henry Hub FOM at $4.96/MMBtu. The Company’s 1Q22 average realized price per Boe of $67.19, before the effects of hedges, was up 58% compared to 1Q21.

The Company’s per unit lease operating expenses (“LOE”) declined by 4% during 1Q22 compared to 1Q21. Aggregate LOE in 1Q22 totaled $134.0 million ($5.78/Boe), a 38% increase from $97.3 million ($6.01/Boe) during 1Q21. The increase in aggregate LOE in 1Q22 from 1Q21 is directly attributable to a 43% increase in total production.

During 1Q22, Endeavor continued to see strong drilling and completions efficiency gains enabling the Company to spud 79 and PoP 91 gross operated wells. Endeavor’s working interest in operated wells placed on production during 1Q22 was approximately 97%, with an average completed lateral length of approximately 10,059.

Capital Investment
Endeavor’s capital investment during 1Q22 reflected continued efficiencies which are partially offsetting the impact from inflation, with well costs totaling approximately $668 per lateral foot. Total accrual-based capital expenditures during 1Q22 were $641.3 million. Approximately, $537.4 million of the Company’s capital investment for 1Q22 was related to the drilling, completion and equipping (“DC&E”) of operated and non-operated wells, $72.3 million was related to leasehold and mineral additions and acquisitions, and $31.6 million was related to additions to other property and equipment, including surface land, water disposal, and electrical facilities.

Full-Year 2022 Outlook
The Company is currently operating 14 horizontal drilling rigs and 4 frac crews. During the twelve months ending December 31, 2022 (“2022”), the Company intends to maintain the existing number of frac crews and one additional horizontal drilling rig.
