Solid earnings, upwardly revised guidance, and.... the stock drops today, after yesterday's big jump.
I think overall this is at mi9nimum a $9-10 stock. People are still nervouse about a company that is engaged in offshore oil production. And off the coast of California, no less. What could go wrong? But I think the company is doing all the right things, cleaning up it's environmental footprint, and even more careful about spill prevention after a ship dragged it's anchor over there line two years ago.

AMPY should be MUCH higher on the news yesterday.
Let's face it, we are in an environment where both the Federal govt, and the State govt in California are doing everything in their power to reduce production of oil and natgas. IN SPITE OF THAT, Amplify Energy just received permission to restart production at its Beta offshore platform this past weekend and has begun the process.
This is AFTER a major oil spill from it's pipeline about a year and a half ago, settlements with the state, and a settlement with the shipping companuies whose anchors damaged the pipeline.
This also occurs after a BIG earning beat in the last quarter results.
So here we have a big bump in AMPY's oil production beginning this month, for the second quarter, after their insurer paid for loss of production right up until the end of the first quarter. I've seen all the negative posts about bad management, but from my perspective, tehy are doing what needs to be done, and should do quite well going foraward, as long as oil prices hold fairly steady.
This is a buy at this level. Period.

Key Highlights
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company:
- Achieved average total production of 21.0 MBoepd
- Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $18.9 million and net income of $47.2 million
- Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 million
- Generated $17.0 million of free cash flow
- As of October 28, 2022, net debt was $179 million, consisting of $205 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $26 million of cash on hand
Net Debt to Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) EBITDA of 2.2x1
Southern California Release Incident (the “Incident”) Updates:
Pipeline repair operations are currently underway, and the Company expects to safely repair and restart the pipeline by the end of the first quarter of 2023
On October 1, 2022, the Company announced that it had received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 to proceed with the permanent repair plans which were previously reviewed and approved by federal pipeline safety regulators earlier this year
On August 26, 2022 and September 8, 2022, respectively, Amplify announced that it had reached agreements to resolve all federal and state criminal matters involving the Company and its subsidiaries arising from the Incident; the courts have approved those agreements
On August 25, 2022, Amplify announced that it had reached an agreement in principle, which is subject to court approval, to settle all civil claims against Amplify and its subsidiaries, which will be funded under the Company’s insurance policies
(1) Net debt as of October 28, 2022, and LTM EBITDA as of the third quarter of 2022
Martyn Willsher, Amplify’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are excited to report that operations are currently underway to repair the sections of our pipeline that were damaged by anchor strikes from two shipping vessels in 2021. As we have previously announced, we have resolved all federal and state criminal matters and have reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs in the class action to resolve all civil matters against Amplify and its subsidiaries. With the resolution of these matters substantially complete, we are concentrated on safely repairing the damaged pipeline and working with regulators to promptly receive the required approvals to restart our pipeline and bring the Beta field back online.”
Mr. Willsher concluded, “Amplify performed well operationally and financially during the third quarter. We increased production, reduced operating expenses, and improved cash margins, which allowed us to further reduce total debt outstanding and improve our leverage metrics. For the remainder of 2022, we remain focused on improving our future free cash flow generation through prudent asset investments and cost optimization of our assets, while delevering our balance sheet.”
Southern California Pipeline Incident
For more information and disclosures regarding the Incident, please see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Key Financial Results
During the third quarter of 2022, Amplify generated $30.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of approximately $14.5 million from $16.3 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher production, lower operating expenses, timing variances regarding the recognition of loss of production income (“LOPI”) insurance proceeds related to the Incident, and lower third quarter commodity hedge settlement payments. For the third quarter, the Company recognized $13.3 million of LOPI proceeds, which represents three months of LOPI payments, compared to $8.8 million, or two months LOPI payments, for the prior quarter. Amplify will continue to recognize LOPI proceeds at the time they are approved by insurers for the remainder of the policy period or until Beta is returned to full production.
Free cash flow, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense and capital expenditures, was $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to negative $0.6 million in the prior quarter and $14.3 million in the first half of the year. The positive change was primarily related to rolling off out-of-the-money commodity hedges, reduced capital expenditures in East Texas and Bairoil and LOPI payment recognition during the third quarter.[...]

Amplify Energy Update on San Pedro Bay Pipeline Permit (10/01/22)
Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AMPY) today announced that it has received the Nationwide Permit 12 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to proceed with repair plans that were reviewed and approved by federal pipeline safety regulators earlier this year. This is the next phase of the Company’s repair plan and includes removing the damaged segments of the pipeline from the ocean floor. By removing the damaged segments of the pipeline, regulators, the parties in the litigation and Amplify will be able to complete further analysis of the impact from the vessels dragging their anchors and striking the pipeline on January 25, 2021.
Following the removal of the pipe segments, new segments will be installed in accordance with the approved repair plans. The Company estimates the work will take approximately three to four weeks to complete after the repair barge is deployed.
After the pipeline is repaired, it will undergo a series of safety integrity tests as required by both federal pipeline safety regulations and the Oct. 5, 2021 PHMSA corrective action order. Thereafter, Amplify anticipates that PHMSA will review the pipeline restart plan. Once finalized, the Company will begin the process of bringing the Beta field back online, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2023.
Amplify Energy is committed to safely operating in a way that ensures the protection of the environment and the surrounding communities – communities where many of Amplify’s employees live and raise their families.

AMPY When did the leak start?
It's not clear when the leak began but authorities were notified late Friday of reports of an oil sheen, more than 12 hours before Amplify Energy Corp., the operator of the line, reported it to state and federal officials, according to documents reviewed by CNN.
In an interview with CNN on Monday, Amplify CEO Martyn Willsher said a sheen was detected by company personnel Saturday morning, not Friday night. Willsher said while there is equipment to detect the leak without visibly seeing oil spills, there were no notices of a potential leak in the line before Saturday.
