    Question

    Emma Schwartz from Jefferies asked for more detail on Vitesse's willingness to flex its balance sheet to maintain the dividend and whether any credit facility limitations exist. She also inquired about the performance of the recently acquired Lucero assets and any resulting synergies or learnings.

    Answer

    Chairman and CEO Robert Gerrity emphasized that the dividend is Vitesse's 'product' and the company feels very confident in its ability to pay it, stating they are not restricted by the credit facility. CFO James Henderson added that while the facility has provisions, the company maintains a significant buffer. President Brian Cree reported that the Lucero asset integration is proceeding as expected, with performance matching their underwriting models, and noted the potential to use Vitesse's non-op portfolio to enhance the value of the operated assets.

    Emma Schwartz's questions to Berry Corp (bry) (BRY) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Emma Schwartz asked for clarification on California permitting, questioning why the reinstatement of the Kern County EIR wouldn't immediately increase activity. She also inquired about the timeline for alternative permits and the long-term growth potential for the Utah asset, including key signposts for investors.

    Answer

    CEO Fernando Araujo explained that even if the EIR were reinstated, the company's near-term focus would remain on its large inventory of high-return sidetrack projects, which currently take priority. He estimated a 2026 timeline for alternative permits. Regarding Utah, Araujo highlighted the potential to grow production from ~5,000 to 40,000 BOE/d over a decade with a multi-rig program, contingent on capital and a potential JV, pointing to the 200+ identified drilling locations as a key indicator of its significant potential.
