Pricing. Crude oil and natural gas prices generally remained volatile during the last year. The volatility of the energy markets makes it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. For example, in the last twelve months, the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $51.25 per bbl in December 2025 to a high of $76.02 per bbl in January 2025.

These conditions adversely impacted realized prices during certain periods and contributed to variability in operating results.
