Revenues of $56.5 million hit may forecast on the nose. EPS of $0.28 compare to my forecast of $0.22. I will get into the details and update my forecast model tomorrow.

Production in Q1 won't be much higher but then it should take off as MWE gets the Utica Shale gathering system built out. This could be a "game changing" year for GPOR.
