MISSION RESOURCES CORPORATION Date: December 19,2002 By: /s/ Richard W. Piacenti -------------------------------------- Name: Richard W. Piacenti Title: Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer EX-99.1 3 dex991.txt PRESS RELEASE [MISSION RESOURCES LOGO] Mission Resources Corporation 1331 Lamar, Suite 1455 Houston, Texas 77010-3039 NEWS RELEASE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Ann Kaesermann Vice President - Accounting & Investor Relations, CAO investors@mrcorp.com (713) 495-3100 Mission Resources Provides First Quarter 2003 Guidance, Estimates Year-End 2002 Reserves and Updates Current Hedge Positions HOUSTON - December 19, 2002-- Mission Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: MSSN) today announced certain operational and financial guidance for the first quarter of 2003, including estimates of 2002 year-end proved reserves and its 2004 hedging positions. "Our initial 2003 business plan contemplates working within the constraints of our balance sheet leverage and discretionary cash flow," said chairman, president and chief executive officer, Robert L. Cavnar. "We continue to pursue our first priority, which is to de-lever the balance sheet, and try to put Mission on a more solid financial footing. At the same time, we are reorienting our geographic focus towards the onshore Gulf Coast. Our goal is to increase reserves and production through development of lower cost, higher return natural gas prospects." Outlook for First Quarter 2003 Guidance on performance for the first quarter of 2003 is as follows:
Estimated Daily Production Daily Average Crude Oil (Barrels) 5,500 - 5,800 Natural Gas (MMCF) 22 - 24 Total (MMCFE) 55 - 60 Operating expenses Per MCFE Per BOE Lease operating expense $1.50 - $1.60 $9.00 - $9.60 Taxes other than income $0.30 - $0.35 $1.80 - $2.10 Depreciation, depletion and amortization $1.55 - $1.65 $9.30 - $9.90 General and administrative $0.35 - $0.40 $2.10 - $2.40 Interest expense $6.5 - $6.8 million Federal income tax rate 35 percent, all deferred
Capital Expenditures Budget for First Quarter of 2003 The Company plans to spend approximately $6 million on capital projects during the first quarter of 2003. Included in this plan are two wells on the Gulf Coast as well as ongoing development drilling in the Permian region of West Texas. Management anticipates that the majority of the 2003 capital budget will be spent in the first half of the year. Reserve Update Mission's proved reserves were approximately 404 BCFE or 67 million BOE at December 31, 2001. After giving effect to property divestitures of approximately 87 BCFE or 14 million BOE, production for the year and net revisions based on the preliminary evaluation of reserves by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Mission anticipates that year-end 2002 proved reserves will be between 210 - 230 BCFE or 35 - 38 million BOE. Final year-end reserve figures will not be available until well into the first quarter after Netherland, Sewell has completed its work and incorporated year-end commodity prices. New 2004 Hedging Positions Mission has entered into hedging transactions for calendar year 2004 gas production. Mission hedged 5,000 MMBTU / per day for the full year 2004 using costless collars which provide an average floor price of $3.79 and an average ceiling price of $4.40 on NYMEX equivalent prices. The Company continues to evaluate its hedging strategy and will implement additional hedges as opportunities present themselves.
