Generating Shareholder Value

Strategic Capital Allocation

At W&T Offshore, we grow in opportunistic ways as we maintain a prudent balance sheet and reinvest free cash flow.

Organic Projects

We generate cash flow quickly by focusing on projects with a high rate of return and multiple drilling opportunities.

Asset Acquisitions

We pursue producing assets that have compelling valuations, upside potential, and optimization opportunities.

Portfolio Expansion

We use our Gulf of Mexico expertise along with new technologies to identify and develop projects. We also evaluate joint venture funding potential.

Debt Reduction

We also use a portion of the free cash flow we generate to reduce our outstanding debt to maintain flexibility for future opportunities. 

A Promising Joint Venture in the Gulf

Accelerating High Return Portfolio and Financial Flexibility

At W&T Offshore, we have secured a $361.4 MM commitment for the development of 14 pre-identified projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

The program, which can be potentially upsized, covers the total estimated cost of the 14 wells of $336 MM, plus contingency. We’ve drilled and completed ten wells through December 31, 2023. We initially receive 30% of the net revenues for contributing 20% of the capital expenditures, plus associated leases and access to available infrastructure.

Our share of the well net revenue increases once private investors achieve certain return thresholds. This allows us to develop our high return drilling inventory at a faster pace with reduced capital outlay and the flexibility to make acquisitions and pay down debt. The joint venture structure also expands our access to well-capitalized investors.

Committed to Safety and Environmental Responsibility

W&T Offshore employees follow the highest standards of health, safety, environmental and regulatory (HSE&R) behavior.
