Current report
Prior to our completion of the EMEP Acquisition in August 2024, EMEP incurred approximately $40 million of development capital on their planned program. At the time of the acquisition, there were several incomplete EMEP projects we expect to complete during the balance of the year. While it is too early to determine the full success of the EMEP capital program, we expect the average daily production on the Williston assets to consist of approximately 78% oil, 12% NGLs and 10% gas. We have hedged a portion of our underlying production to protect our distributions and the balance sheet.
Current report
Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $0.8 million, or 5%, from $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower natural gas and oil prices partially offset by increased NGL prices and the increase in production.
Current report
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased $3.0 million, or 28%, from $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the Williston Basin production.

Current report
Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $16.0 million, or 27%, from $59.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $43.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in natural gas, NGLs and oil prices and the decrease in production.
Current report
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 4%, from $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to a higher rate, primarily due to Williston Basin production which has a higher rate than the historical properties, partially offset by decreased production.
Current report
Interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 19%, from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased borrowings and a higher interest rate.

Previous report
Assuming the EMEP Acquisition is consummated in the third quarter of 2024 and the EMEP planned capital program is successfully completed, we expect the average daily production on the Williston assets to increase to an estimated 4,955 BOE/day, consisting of approximately 78% oil, 12% NGLs and 10% gas. The EMEP capital program, totaling $30 million to $35 million, is for the completion of one new operated horizontal well, nine operated refracs and four non-operated new horizontal wells. We expect to hedge a portion of the underlying production to protect our distributions and the balance sheet. The combined reserves from the Williston Acquisitions, after giving effect to EMEP’s 2024 development program, are expected to have a three-year average annual decline rate of approximately 14%.
Previous report
Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $1.9 million, or 13%, from $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in production and lower natural gas prices partially offset by increased oil and NGL prices.
Previous report
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased $1.2 million, or 10%, from $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased production and a lower rate due to changes in production mix.

Taxes, transportation, and other decreased $15.2 million, or 35%, from $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in production and natural gas and NGLs prices partially offset by increased oil prices.
Previous report
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased $1.6 million, or 7%, from $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased production and a lower rate due to changes in production mix.
Previous report
Interest expense decreased 2%, from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased borrowings partially offset by a higher interest rate.

On June 28, 2024, we completed the Offering for the sale of 6.5 million common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit, which resulted in estimated proceeds of $122.5 million net of estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. On July 2, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 975,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per common unit pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its option to purchase additional common units in the Offering, resulting in additional proceeds of approximately $18.5 million net of estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and other costs. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Williston Acquisitions. Pending the closing of the Williston Acquisitions, we used a portion of these proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Previous wording
The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are highly volatile. For example, during the period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, NYMEX prices for crude oil and natural gas reached a high of $93.68 per Bbl and $4.17 per MMBtu, respectively, and a low of $66.74 per Bbl and $1.58 per MMBtu, respectively. Oil prices were relatively stable over the first half of 2023 before initially increasing in the second half of 2023 as a result of expected supply constraints and hostilities in the Middle East. Since these concerns did not materialize, oil prices declined in the last month of 2023 but continuing hostilities and higher global consumption have pushed prices higher in the first half of 2024. WTI crude oil prices have been volatile reaching a high of $93.68 per Bbl in September 2023 before declining to $82.77 per Bbl as of July 18, 2024. Natural gas prices reached a high of $4.17 per MMbtu in January 2023 before declining to $2.07 per MMbtu as of July 18, 2024.

However, increased supply led to lower prices in the third quarter of 2024. WTI crude oil prices have been volatile reaching a high of $93.68 per Bbl in September 2023 before declining to $69.22 per Bbl as of October 18, 2024. Natural gas prices reached a high of $4.17 per MMbtu in January 2023 before declining to $2.26 per MMbtu as of October 18, 2024.

With our anticipated cash flows from our long-lived property base, we intend to provide dynamic allocation of funds to prudently meet our goals. These goals include the highest projected economic returns on our capital budget, acquisition opportunities that fulfill our strategy, and cash distributions for the life of our legacy assets. From time to time, we may choose to amortize repayment of debt incurred in modest acquisitions to support the longer-term financial stewardship of our business. At other times, given fluctuations in industry costs and commodity prices, we may modify our capital budget or cash balances to shift funds towards cash distributions. We will use all of these tools to support our underlying strategy as a “production and distribution” enterprise.

Concerns over global economic conditions, energy costs, supply chain disruptions, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed U.S. labor force, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit and the United States financial market and other factors have contributed to increased economic uncertainty and diminished expectations for the global economy. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the U.S. economy experienced the highest rate of inflation in the past 40 years. Rising inflation has been pervasive since 2022, increasing the cost of salaries, wages, supplies, material, freight, and energy. While we expect inflation to moderate in 2024, inflation continues to run higher than the Federal Reserve target, resulting in higher costs. We continue to undertake actions and implement plans to address these pressures and protect the requisite access to commodities and services, however, these mitigation efforts may not succeed or be insufficient. Nevertheless, we expect for the foreseeable future to experience inflationary pressure on our cost structure. Principally, commodity costs for steel and chemicals required for drilling, higher transportation and fuel costs and wage increases have increased our operating costs. While prices appear to have stopped increasing as rapidly, we do not expect these cost increases to reverse in the short term. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do associated costs. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to prices. We cannot predict the future inflation rate but to the extent these higher costs do not begin to reverse or start to increase again, we may experience a higher cost environment going forward. If we are unable to recover higher costs through higher commodity prices, our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions would all be significantly impacted.

Revenues decreased $3.2 million, or 5%, from $60.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $57.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue decreased $8.2 million due to a decrease in production of 170 MBoe primarily as a result of natural production declines and downtime and decreased $7.2 million as a result of a decrease in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on natural gas of 47%. These decreases were partially offset by gains on our hedging activity of $7.1 million, of which $6.7 million were unrealized gains and $0.4 million were realized gains. Additionally, an increase in the average selling price, excluding the effects of derivatives, on oil of 10% resulted in an increase in revenue of $4.5 million and on NGLs of 9% resulted in an increase in revenue of $0.6 million.
Current wording
Revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 2%, from $69.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $68.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
