• 2. Williams Capital analysts commented, "We atribute the well outperformance to its enhanced comple�on designs, which should help validate the upside to the SCOOP acquisi�on, as well as put GPOR in the beat -and-raise camp with a posi�ve rate of change. Management will host its earnings call this morning (May 9th ) at 9:00 AM ET. We reaffirm our Buy rating a nd $27 PT. We expect shares to react positive to its initial SCOOP well results. Key Points Flow back on ini�al SCOOP wells outperforming 30%-35%. GPOR recently turned-to-sales its first two gross (1.2 net) SCOOP wells, the Vinson 2-22X27H and 3R-22X27H (lateral lengths averaging 8,500 �) located in the wet gas window in Southern Grady County with 24-hour IP rates of 14.9 Mmcfe/d (97.7% nat gas) and 17.2 Mmcfe/d (98.3% nat gas), respec�vely. Moreover, these wells are showcasing an early flow-back outperformance of ~30% to offse�ng wells and by as much as 35% to its SCOOP wet gas type curve. We atribute the well out performance to its enhanced comple�on designs. Specifically, these wells u�lized 180- foot stage spacing with ~ 2,400 pounds of proppant per foot of lateral. During the summer, GPOR expect to spud a well in the Springer (~38,600 net prospec�ve acres) and Sycamore (40,000 net prospec�ve acres) – stay tuned." (5/9/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "GPOR's entry into the SCOOP, diluting its pure-play, dry gas Utica focus, clearly gave investors cause for concern as the stock has underperformed the XOP by 24% since the deal was announced on December 14. However, we still find value in GPOR shares and assume coverage with a Buy rating. We reduce our PT to $22 on a slower long-term development pace in the Utica and a lower gas price assumption than our previous NAV ($3.50 LT vs $4.00 LT previously)." (3/22/2017)
• 4. KLR Group analysts commented, "We are increasing our GPOR target price $1 to $31 per share due to almost 10% lower capital intensity (lower Utica well costs) largely offset by lower liquids composition. Our '17 production expectation of ~1,073 Mmcfepd is at the midpoint of company guidance (1,045-1,100 Mmcfepd)." (2/14/2017)
