Upstream Production at Upper End of Guidance
Q1 production ~925 MMcfe/day, trending toward the upper end of guidance (FY range 915–955 MMcfe/day); development capital ~ $82M in Q1 (slightly below guided midpoint).
Strong Cost and Completion Improvements
Base well D&C cost target ~$533 per lateral foot; advanced completions add ~ $22 per lateral foot and are delivering ~20% well performance uplift over the first 180 days (program applied to ~1/3 of Barnett wells since 2025).
Top-Performing Wells and POW Results
Two new wells in Q1 ranked among the top 15 Barnett wells in the past decade; 8 of the top 15 wells from the '25–'26 program. Positive offset well (POW) examples showed output doubling with no incremental capital (≈100% increase).
Production Mix and Low Decline Advantage
Liquids represent ~20% of Barnett production mix this quarter; management highlights lowest base decline vs. peers and incremental base uplift of >15 MMcf/day from optimization blitzes since early February with minimal capital.
Carbon Capture Commercialization Progress
Cotton Cove began commercial sequestration in April (forecast ~32,000 metric tons CO2/year); Eagle Ford CCUS expected to commence injection before end of Q2 (forecast ~90,000 t/year). Barnett Zero ran >99% uptime this quarter and sequestered ~35,800 t this quarter (total ~350,000 t to date).
Scaling CCUS Pipeline and Targets
Targeting 1.5 million tons per annum injection run rate by 2028; Louisiana Class VI permitting advancing for projects with 2 million tpa capacity each; test well drilling underway at High West.
Power Segment Momentum and Capacity Options
Power JV consolidated: Q1 generation ~2,000 GWh, capacity factor 62%, average power price $51/MWh, gross power JV adjusted EBITDA $20M (after $4M additional corporate G&A). Line of sight to potentially up to 1.4 GW incremental power (modular up to 200 MW secured, PUN up to ~750 MW, reserved 600 MW CCGT for Temple III and another 600 MW reserved for 2028).
Commercial Progress Toward PPAs and Customer Demand
Strong commercial discussions with data center/hyperscaler customers; management expects to sign a PPA within 2026 to early 2027 and has secured an incremental 6,200-acre site in North Central Texas for potential power expansion.
Financial Results and Balance Sheet Strength
Q1 net income $44M, adjusted EBITDAX attributable to BKV $112M, Q1 capex $119M. Net debt $962M and net leverage 2.1x (includes $562M net debt related to Power). Total liquidity ~$974M (cash + RBL capacity).
Hedging and Risk Management
Hedges in place: 67% of 2026 natural gas production hedged at $3.86/MMBtu avg; 56% of NGLs hedged at $24.56/bbl avg; nearly 500 MMcfe/day hedged for 2027 (>50% swapped at $4/MMBtu, rest collars). Power hedged: 700 MW for 2026.
