[dan_s]

Today, I nailed down two outstanding speakers for our next luncheon at the Hess Club in Houston. Seating will be tight for this one, so PLEASE register on our website if you wish to attend.

Muhammed Ghulam is going to be our opening speaker. He is a Senior Associate on the Raymond James Energy Research Team. Prior to joining Raymond James, he spent time working in South Asia. Mr. Ghulam holds a Master of Science in Finance from The University of Texas at Austin and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, UK. He is going to give us Raymond James outlook for the global oil market, very bullish.

Our keynote speaker will be Frank Lodzinski, CEO of Earthstone Energy (ESTE). Earthstone is the newest addition to our Sweet 16 Growth Portfolio.

Through a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions, the Company has established a significant position in the Permian Basin. From Q1 2018 production of 9,664 Boe per day, Earthstone now has a clear path to 15,000 Boepd of production by the end of this year.

Earthstone is a growth-oriented upstream oil & gas company. It is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ESTE.” The corporate headquarters are located in The Woodlands, Texas.

Earthstone has a well-respected management team led by Frank Lodzinski the CEO and Robert Anderson the President. Frank’s team built Oak Valley Resources (a private company) after they sold GeoResources, Inc. to Halcon Resources Corp. (HK) in August 2012. Oak Valley completed a reverse merger into Earthstone Energy in 2014 to go public.

On May 18, 2016 Earthstone closed an all-stock merger with Lynden Energy Corp. (TSX.V: LVL) that added approximately 5,900 net acres in the sweet spot of the Midland Basin, a sub-basin of the West Texas Permian Basin. The merger added net production of 1,130 Boepd, and 100 gross horizontal locations.

On November 8, 2016 Earthstone announced the acquisition of Bold Energy III LLC (BOLD), a merger which significantly increased Earthstone’s running room in the Midland Basin. The all-stock transaction to combine with Bold closed on May 9, 2017. It added current production of ~2,300 Boepd. By the end of 2017, Earthstone’s production grew to over 9,500 BOE per day. Today the company’s production mix is approximately 63% crude oil, 19% NGLs and 18% natural gas.
