Vitesse Energy Discusses Capital Allocation, Operational Advancements, and Market Outlook
VTS
Dividends
M&A
Guidance Update
  • Vitesse Energy, primarily a non-operated company focused on the Bakken Play, prioritizes its dividend (currently over 10%) and maintaining a strong balance sheet, aiming to keep debt under one times.
  • The company completed the acquisition of Lucero Oil and Gas Company in March, which introduced limited operational capabilities to its previously 100% non-operated model.
  • Operational efficiency has significantly improved, with a 26% reduction in drilling cost per lateral foot and a 75% increase in first 12 months production per lateral foot from 2014 to 2024, driven by technologies like longer laterals.
  • Vitesse plans lower capital spending for next year due to market uncertainty and has approximately 45% of its 2026 oil production hedged with a floor around $64 and a ceiling around $66. The CFO expects oil prices in the high $50s to low $60s in 2026, noting dividend maintenance becomes more challenging below $50.
