Top Utica Shale Drillers Reporting Earnings this Week

A big week coming up

After Antero Resource’s Q1 015 earnings report April 30, a raft of earnings reports are due out this week. Antero reported Utica production up 43% from Q4 2014 to Q1 2015. And also last week, Hess  reported earnings, April 29^th, when they announced a reduction in their 2-rig Utica program to a 1-rig program by June. Earnings calls can reveal a great deal and much will be written of what is said.

Earnings reports coming out May 4^th week from top Utica Shale players in Ohio include  (Investor page links included)

Chesapeake Energy (May 6^th, 8am CT)
Gulfport Energy (May 6^th, 8am CT)
Eclipse Resources (May 6^th, at market close)
Carrizo (May 6^th, 11am)
Rice Energy (May 7^th, 9am ET)
PDC Energy (May 7^th, 11am ET)

Much should be revealed

After investor calls I’ve found SeekingAlpha.com to be a great place to scan and read call transcripts where much more insight is provided than the earnings report itself.

The earnings announcements should offer additional insights into what we might expect for the year with respect to rig count and activity in the Utica Shale.
