(3) Includes Matador’s share of estimated CapEx for San Mateo and other wholly-owned midstream projects. Oil, Natural Gas and Oil Equivalent Production Growth and Anticipated Cadence Matador expects full-year 2026 production of 122,000 to 124,000 barrels of oil per day and 525 to 545 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, resulting in 209,500 to 215,000 BOE per day.

Forecasted volumes were previously expected to be consistent from the fourth quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026 due to the timing of wells being turned to sales as a result of larger batch developments of longer-lateral wells. Matador expects to turn to sales ~39 gross (34 net) operated wells during the first quarter of 2026, of which only 11 net operated wel
