Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company with a principal focus on acquisition, development and production activities in the U.S. Mid-Continent region ("Mid-Con"). Prior to February 5, 2021, we held assets in the North Park Basin ("NPB" or "North Park") of Colorado, which have been sold in their entirety.

Recent Events

•Consistent with our 2022 capital development program, we drilled three wells and completed three wells during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•On October 5, 2022 the Company's Board of Directors appointed Ms. Nancy Dunlap to serve as a member of the Board. Ms. Dunlap also joined the Audit Committee.

Outlook

We will continue to focus on growing the cash value and generation 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 and (3) focused drilling in high-graded areas. 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 2022 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:
