MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"Our Company had a strong start to the year with both operational and financial performance during the first quarter," said Bobby D. Riley, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "We're experiencing improved cycle times and efficiencies in our development activities, leading to measurable cost savings. We continue to prioritize free cash flow generation which allows for debt reduction and direct shareholder return through dividends. Finally, we recently closed on the previously announced acquisition in New Mexico, contiguous to our existing New Mexico assets, which adds valuable development inventory in the region."

During the first quarter 2024, the Company drilled 7 gross operated horizontal wells, completed 4 gross operated horizontal wells and turned to sales 6 gross operated horizontal wells.
The Company averaged oil production of 14.2 MBbls/d, representing an increase of 4% from the prior quarter. The Company averaged total equivalent production of 20.4 MBoe/d (70% oil and 85% liquids).
First quarter 2024 revenues totaled $100 million, net cash provided by operating activities (including changes in working capital) was $56 million and net income was $19 million, or $0.94 per diluted share.

Re: Riley is out
Quite interesting. In fact, Fraser Argentina is mining bitcoin with stranded gas. Looks like this could be a gold mine for Riley.
Perhaps all the data centers will move to Texas and NM for their energy needs.
