Highlights from yesterdays EnerCom Denver Energy Investment Conference:
- Capital spending period centered on Q2/Q3. Q4 should begin putting free cash flow back onto the balance sheet
- M&A is a strategy, although they framed Prairie as a potential acquirer/consolidator, not as a company currently for sale.
- Prairie’s acreage could have strategic value to larger DJ Basin operators now producing approximately 27,000 net BOE/day. That’s substantially above Q2’s average of 21,866 BOE/day and above the midpoint of the new 23,000–25,000 BOE/day full-year guidance.
Operations: Bullish
Production trajectory: Very encouraging
Asset value: Bullish
M&A optionality: Interesting
Balance sheet: Still the problem
Hudson Bay resolution: Nothing new
2026 will be a year of investment and restructuring balance sheet, but Q4 and 2027 could be explosive.
