First Quarter 2015 Production
Gulfport produced oil and natural gas sales volumes of 424.4 MMcfe per day during first quarter 2015, exceeding the Company's previously estimated guidance of approximately 378 MMcfe per day to 390 MMcfe per day. For the first quarter of 2015, Gulfport's production mix was approximately 68% natural gas and 32% oil and natural gas liquids. Gulfport's first quarter 2015 production represented an 11% increase over fourth quarter 2014 production of 381.9 MMcfe per day and a 161% increase over first quarter 2014 production of 162.5 MMcfe per day. Gulfport's first quarter 2015 Utica Shale production was 396.0 MMcfe per day, or 93% of our aggregate net production, as compared to 93% and 78% of our aggregate production during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2014, respectively.
This morning STIFEL raised their price target by $10/share"
"Raising Target Price On Utica Upside Potential
Despite continuing to have a downward bias to our natural gas price forecast
(currently at $3/MMBtu and $3.50/MMBtu for 2015 and 2016), we continue to see
NAV upside potential for GPOR. After taking into account the significant dry Utica
NAV upside potential, strong balance sheet, top-tier well economics, and strong
hedge and firm transportation portfolio, we are reiterating our Buy
recommendation and increasing our target price to $60/share."
