NOG reiterated full-year guidance and signaled strong Q2 free cash flow with capex of $190-200M. The $150M buyback authorization increase (to ~$243M) and 2.95M shares repurchased at $20.37 demonstrate management's view of undervaluation. However, Q2 oil production of 67.5-68.25 Mbo/d is down ~8% from Q1's 73,567 Bbl/d, and the ~7,000 Boe/d Waha shut-ins highlight Permian gas takeaway risk. Monitor Q3 production recovery and the Duvernay integration for signs of volume growth.
