C&J Energy Services Announces Operational Update

HOUSTON, June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- C&J Energy Services, Inc. ("C&J" or the "Company") (NYSE: CJ) today announced that the Company has modified its horizontal frac fleet deployment plans.  C&J deployed two horizontal fleets earlier this year and presently continues with two more scheduled for redeployment in the next two months.  The remaining three fleets, consisting of approximately 120,000 hydraulic horsepower, that were previously scheduled for deployment starting in October 2018 are being deferred to a later date.

"In line with our disciplined capital deployment philosophy, we have made the strategic decision to delay redeploying our last three fleets due to concerns with take away capacity in the Permian and additional frac horsepower brought to market by some of our peers at lower pricing.  At this time, we simply do not have the firm demand and favorable economics for those fleets that we require, so we will postpone deployment until we can obtain the utilization, pricing and time commitment needed to justify those capital expenditures," said Don Gawick, President and Chief Executive Officer of C&J.  "We believe that staying true to our strategy will drive enhanced shareholder returns over time.  However, we are confident that the fleets currently committed for deployment this year will generate returns within our target of a two-year payback.  We look forward to further updating the market on our revised capital expenditure plans when we report second quarter earnings in early August.  We remain committed to assessing all potential opportunities to maximize shareholder value over the near and long-term, and we will reassess our fleet deployment strategy once market conditions become clear."
