In other recent news, Chord Energy Corp has been the focus of several notable developments. Following the release of the company's third-quarter 2024 earnings, RBC (TSX:RY) Capital Markets maintained an Outperform rating on the company's stock, despite reducing the price target from $185.00 to $180.00. The earnings release highlighted an adjusted free cash flow of $312 million, with 75% of it being returned to shareholders, demonstrating the company's commitment to shareholder value.
The company has also confirmed its $3 billion borrowing base and extended its loan options, maintaining its $1.5 billion aggregate elected revolving commitment amounts. This move provides Chord Energy with financial flexibility until December 1, 2025.
Furthermore, Chord Energy Corp is witnessing operational advancements, particularly with the successful drilling of 3-mile lateral wells, potentially extending to 4-mile laterals to enhance production efficiency. RBC Capital Markets expressed optimism regarding these advancements and the company's asset base, which is estimated to last over ten years.
The company's three-year plan, requiring a capital expenditure of $1.4 billion, suggests that Chord Energy can maintain oil production levels. However, production curtailments due to wildfires in North Dakota are expected to impact Q4 oil volumes by about 900 barrels per day. Despite these challenges, the company's capital allocation strategy remains adaptable to commodity price fluctuations, with improvements in gas prices expected following the online launch of LNG Canada in mid-2024.
