Recent Events

•Consistent with our 2023 capital development program announced on March 15, 2023, we drilled two wells and completed two wells during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.




Outlook

We will continue to focus on growing the cash value allocation capability of our asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to projects we believe provide high rates of returns in the current commodity price environment. These projects include (1) a continuation of our well reactivation program, (2) artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost effective systems, (3) focused drilling in high-graded areas and (4) limited opportunistic leasing in proven areas around or adjacent to our area of operations that could further bolster future development. Given near term commodity price dynamics, and that our Midcon assets are 99% held by production, which preserves the tenor of our development option, we concluded our drilling activity this quarter, with remaining completions to occur in the second quarter. We will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, results, costs and other factors that could influence returns on investments, which will continue to shape our disciplined development decisions in 2023 and beyond. We will also continue to maintain optionality to execute on value accretive merger and acquisition opportunities that could bring synergies, leverage our core competencies, compliment our portfolio of assets, further utilize our NOLs or otherwise yield attractive returns for our shareholders.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated revenues and cash flows are generated from the production and sale of oil, natural gas and NGL. Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend substantially on prevailing prices received for our production, the quantity of oil, natural gas and NGL we produce, and our ability to find and economically develop and produce our reserves. Prices for oil, natural gas and NGL fluctuate widely and are difficult to predict. To provide information on the general trend in pricing, the average New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") prices for oil and natural gas are shown in the tables below:
