ProPetro's For 2024 Expects Incurred Capital Expenditures To Be On The Low End Of $200M-$250M; For Q2 Expects Frac Fleet Effective Utilization To Be Between 14 To 15 Fleets
Guidance
The Company now expects to be on the low end of our prior guidance range for full-year 2024 incurred capital expenditures of $200 million to $250 million. Frac fleet effective utilization is expected to be between 14 to 15 fleets during the second quarter 2024.
Outlook
Mr. Sledge added, "Looking ahead, we expect demand for our differentiated service quality and next generation equipment to remain strong. We believe the recent transition and investment in our fleet will contribute to industry-leading efficiencies and high customer satisfaction, as evidenced by our recently announced multi-year agreement to advance our partnership with ExxonMobil. Additionally, with our strong balance sheet and steady free cash flow generation, we continue to make excellent progress on our strategic priorities, and we will continue to evaluate opportunities to further enhance financial returns."
Mr. Sledge concluded, "We are entering the second quarter with exciting momentum with our industrialization strategy, which is designed for the future of our sector and industry. In light of the market pressures that we and our peers face in a slow-to-no-growth environment, continued focus on our execution is paramount. With our strategic initiatives largely in place, we believe ProPetro is well-positioned to provide the reliable completion services, next-generation technologies and competitive costs that customers seek in the consolidating E&P space. As we further industrialize our business, optimize operations, modernize our fleet and remain opportunistic in value-accretive transactions and capital returns, aligned with our disciplined capital allocation framework, we are confident in ProPetro's ability to deliver increased shareholder value."
