3. Operational and Market Challenges
Results were impacted by over 300 BOEPD of downtime from extreme weather, equipment failures and $2.2 million in realized hedge losses. Differential adjustments of $3.2 million also weighed on adjusted net income, although all issues have since been resolved and production levels restored.
