• EBITDA of $30 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million

Paul McKinney, President and CEO commented, "During the second quarter, our teams demonstrated their commitment to delivering on what we said we would do. Oil production is up 16% quarter over quarter, total forecasted production is near the high end of guidance, and we continue to make progress reducing cash costs. As we head into the final months of summer, we will finish completing the six wells of our 15-wells-per-section test drilled in North Park earlier this year and continue the planning process for our future drilling and development programs.

"As planned, the majority of our budgeted drilling and completion capital was spent during the first half of 2019. We expect the remaining drilling projects for 2019 to fall within our capital spending guidance range as we remain focused on financial discipline."
