Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
This results in a full year average of approximately 4.1 Bcfe/d, unchanged from
prior guidance. This annual guidance reflects approximately 20% growth year-over-year. The Company is increasing its ethane realized price
premium to Mont Belvieu to $2.00 to $3.00 per barrel, reflecting a $1.00 per barrel increase at the midpoint from the prior guidance range.
The Company is reducing its cash production expense guidance to a range of $2.25 to $2.35 per Mcfe, a $0.10 per Mcfe reduction at the
midpoint. The lower cash production expense is due primarily to the impact of the integration of the lower production costs associated
with the HG assets.
