Lower 48 cost inflation: takeaways from Q1 2022 earnings calls

Report summary

Each Lower 48 E&P messaged cost inflation slightly differently in Q1 2022 earnings. Some operators projected low numbers and shared detailed strategies on controlling overspend. Others provided only high level commentary, but spoke to 20% cost increases. We break down all the data companies presented. And we also add our analysis of which factors helped some E&Ps differentiate by keeping a lid on inflation. Pre-planned procurement impacts how the next few quarters of capex increases could unfold.
