Analysis · PR · Energy & Transportation
A blowout quarter saw net income nearly quadruple to $792.5 million, fueled by a 56% jump in realized oil prices to $97.81 per barrel. Reflecting confidence in sustained operational momentum, the company raised its full-year 2026 oil production guidance. Natural gas sales, however, swung deeply negative as Permian Basin takeaway constraints bit—a headwind partially offset by hedging and purchased gas sales. The balance sheet strengthened further with the redemption of high-cost notes and a new $3 billion investment-grade credit facility, while a $520 million bolt-on acquisition closed after quarter-end extends the core Delaware Basin position.
