Financial Performance:
SM Energy's potential financial performance for 2024 is projected to be positive with the expectation of a significant amount of free cash flow, even after fulfilling base dividend requirements and concluding buyback authorizations. This could allow for accelerated buybacks if commodity prices rise.
Business Progress:
SM Energy is working on multiple projects such as the completion of a four-well pad in Klondike, operational and drilling efforts to acquire a 50% working interest in a 16,000-acre block in South Texas, and conducting tests on the Briscoe pad with the potential for considerable increase in drill locations. Efficiency enhancements achieved in Q1 are projected to persist throughout 2024, including substituting natural gas for diesel to limit CO2 emissions, improvements in drilling efficiency, and the strategic use of existing central production facilities.
