Haynes and Boone, LLPBorrowing Base Redeterminations Survey: Spring 2022
April 2022
Haynes and Boone, LLP has conducted 15 borrowing base redetermination surveys since April2015, including our most recent survey in March 2022.
The 105 survey respondents include executives at:
Oil and gas producers
Financial institutions
Private equity firms
Professional services firms
The primary objective of this survey is to provide a forward-looking and clear idea of whatlenders, borrowers (oil and gas producers) and others are experiencing regarding borrowingbase redeterminations in light of the price uncertainty in the commodity markets.
The following is a summary of our March 2022 borrowing base redetermination survey resultsand an analysis of the responses.

Overview – Haynes Boone Borrowing Base Redeterminations Survey
1. With the backdrop of oil and natural gas prices being at levels not seen in the last ten years,producers are expected to see substantial borrowing base increases this spring.
2. Expectations regarding hedging levels show a decrease for the first time in the last several surveys.This could be a potential indication that producers believe prices will rise even more and are waryof becoming too locked in with respect to their upside potential.
3. While cash flow from operations continues to reign supreme as a capital source, there are severalnotable changes regarding how producers are funding themselves. Use of equity capital, bothpublic and private, and bank debt is increasing. Use of monetization transactions, joint venturesand debt from alternative capital providers—all of which typically have a higher cost of capital—isdecreasing.
4. Respondents report that the most important impediment to increasing oil and gas production isone that will take some time to reverse: Lack of reinvestment in the industry over the last couple ofyears.
5. Despite all of the current focus on ESG, respondents see it as one of the least importantimpediments to increasing oil and gas production.
