Oil sales. Oil sales increased approximately $14.9 million to $364.0 million in 2024 from $349.0 million in 2023. The oil sales increased by a volume variance of approximately $21.5 million from an increase in sales volumes to 4,861,628 barrels of oil in 2024 from 4,579,942 barrels of oil in 2023, primarily driven by production from wells within the

assets acquired with the Founders Acquisition (closed in August 2023). Other impacts to revenue volumes include organic growth from workovers, new drills, and other capital expenditures, offset by divestitures completed and natural asset decline. The volume variance was offset by a negative price variance of approximately $(6.5) million from a decrease in the average realized per barrel oil price to $74.87 in 2024 from $76.21 in 2023.

The significant reduction in realized natural gas prices was driven by a lower market index price. In 2024, the average gross realized price for natural gas was $0.29 per Mcf, and the average fees per Mcf were $(1.73), bringing the net average price to $(1.44) per Mcf. In 2023, the average gross realized price for natural gas was $1.67 per Mcf, and the average fees per Mcf were $(1.62), bringing the net average price to 0.05 per Mcf. This was only slightly offset by the volume variance as the volume increased to 6,423,674 Mcf in 2024 from 6,339,158 Mcf in 2023.
