Environmental Challenges
- Commodity price volatility
- Maintaining profitability in a fluctuating market
Mitigation Strategies
- Low overhead, low lease operating costs, high percentage of wells profitable at lower prices
- Well reactivations to enhance production and arrest declines
- Opportunistic acquisitions
- Cost reduction initiatives
- Hedging program (limited)

Environmental Achievements
- No routine flaring of produced natural gas since 1Q21
- Owned and operated saltwater gathering systems provide a lower emissions alternative relative to produced water trucking
Social Achievements
- Demonstrated safety track record integral to culture
Governance Achievements
- Independent board with diversity of background; annual say-on-pay; 382 Rights Plan approved by shareholders
Climate Goals & Targets
Short-term Goals:
- Extend and flatten the Company’s production profile with relatively low required investment capital, high return and quick payback workovers and other “small ball” projects, as well as with well reactivations as commodity prices justify
Environmental Challenges
- Recent inflationary pressures
- Supply chain constraints
Mitigation Strategies
- Optimization of SWD system with a focus on peak power rates and adjustments to variable speed drives
- Continuous and rigorous RFP process to ensure competitive pricing
- Continued focus on artificial lift design and optimization
- Secured tubular, artificial lift and maintenance equipment early in 2022 to offset inflation and supply chain constraints
- Reduced field personnel from 231 to 88 while maintaining high safety standards
