) delivered higher-than-expected average production of approximately 102.0 Mboe [million barrels of oil equivalent]/day in 3Q.

Callon’s CEO Joe Gatto said that “our focus on cost control and operational efficiency through scaled development is pushing us towards even lower cost thresholds that should generate improved cash flow and lower break-even pricing over time."

For 2020, the company expects total production in the range of 100.0 – 101.0 Mboe/day. As for 2021, the company lowered the guidance for average daily production in the range of 90.0 – 92.0 Mboe/day from its August 2021 forecast of 90.0 – 95.0 Mboe/day.

The lower guidance reflected “the combined effect of the recent ORRI [overriding royalty interest] transaction and non-operated properties sale, offset partly by improved well performance and operational efficiency gains,” the company said. (
