Shares of oil and gas companies are trading lower following reports suggesting an impending deal will restart Libyan oil production and exports.

W&amp;T Offshore, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wti#NYSE">WTI</a>) reported a second-quarter 2024 loss of 5 cents per share (excluding one item), wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents. However, the bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported loss of 8 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $142.8 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $152 million. However, the top line increased from $126 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
The weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings were due to low oil-equivalent production and rising operating expenses. This was partially offset by higher average realized prices for oil-equivalent production.

Production for the quarter averaged 34.9 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), down from 37 MBoe/d in the corresponding period of 2023. The reported metric was lower than our estimate of 37 Mboe/d. The production was negatively impacted by the company&#39;s primary Mobile Bay processing plant getting shut down by the third-party operator to perform a turnaround. The decrease was partially offset by increased production from wells acquired in January 2024 and September 2023.
Oil production totaled 1,382 thousand barrels (MBbls), up from 1,254 MBbls in the year-ago quarter. The figure missed our estimate of 1,387 MBbls.

<h3>Realized Commodity Prices</h3>
The average realized price for oil in the second quarter was $80.29 per barrel, higher than the year-ago level of $71.76. Our estimate for the same was pegged at $81.46.

The average realized price of natural gas in the June-end quarter was $2.50 per thousand cubic feet, up from $2.34 in the corresponding period of 2023 and above our estimate of $2.33.
The average realized price for oil-equivalent output increased to $44.40 per barrel from $36.76 a year ago. The figure also beat our estimate of $42.38.
<h3>Operating Expenses</h3>
Lease operating expenses increased to $23.29 per Boe from $19.60 in the year-ago period. The reported figure was lower than our estimate of $25.98.
Also, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.72 per Boe from $5.16 a year ago. The figure was higher than our estimate of $5.44.
<h3>Cash Flow</h3>
Net cash from operations totaled $37.4 million, up from $26.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
The free cash flow increased to $18.7 million from $9.7 million in the year-earlier quarter.
<h3>Capital Spending &amp; Balance Sheet</h3>

As of Jun 30, 2024, the company&#39;s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $123.4 million and net long-term debt totaled $376.9 million. The current portion of the long-term debt is $14.9 million.
<h3>Guidance</h3>
For the third quarter of 2024, W&amp;T Offshore expects production to be in the band of 2,842-3,208 Mboe. For 2024, its production is anticipated to be in the 11,900-13,267 Mboe range.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

How Is The Market Feeling About W&T Offshore?

Production, Prices and Revenue:&nbsp;&nbsp; Production for the first quarter of 2024 was 35.1 MBoe/d compared with 34.1 MBoe/d for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 32.5 MBoe/d for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in production compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the inclusion of the Cox acquisition, which closed in January 2024 and was partially offset by natural decline. First quarter 2024 production was comprised of 15.4 thousand barrels per day ("MBbl/d") of oil (44%), 3.8 MBbl/d of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") (11%), and 96.0 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") of natural gas (45%). Production in the second quarter of 2024 will be negatively impacted by planned maintenance which required shut-ins of select fields and is reflected in second quarter guidance.

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from W&amp;T Offshore (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTI#NYSE">WTI</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 1 cents per share. On Friday, W&amp;T Offshore will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 1 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own WTI as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 1 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 25, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
