The company expects to turn-in-line 138 to 160 total net wells in 2024 across its three operating regions, with approximately 60% of drilling and completion capital invested in the Permian Basin. This indicates a continued focus on high-return areas.

Approximately 60 percent of our drilling and completion capital is expected to be invested in the Permian Basin, 23 percent in the Marcellus Shale and 17 percent in the Anadarko Basin. This allocation indicates a strategic emphasis on the Permian Basin's higher oil production.

The company issued $500 million of 5.60% senior notes due March 15, 2034, and expects to use the net proceeds and cash on hand to repay $575 million of 3.65% weighted-average private placement senior notes maturing in September 2024. This move aims to optimize the capital structure and manage debt maturities.

In February 2024, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the base quarterly dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.21 per share. This action reflects management's confidence in the company's financial stability and commitment to returning value to shareholders.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the recording, processing, summarizing and reporting of information. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2024.

The report emphasizes that financial results depend on commodity prices, which are affected by factors outside of the company's control, including market supply and demand, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, weather conditions, and geopolitical and economic factors. This highlights the inherent risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices.

These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, or corrective actions that may increase development costs or operating costs.

Oil revenues increased $234 million primarily due to higher oil prices and higher production in the Permian Basin due to the timing of our drilling and completion activities. This suggests a strengthening competitive position in a key region.

Natural gas revenues decreased $401 million primarily due to significantly lower natural gas prices partially offset by higher production. This suggests a potential weakness in the company's competitive positioning in the natural gas market.

NGL revenues increased $43 million primarily due to higher NGL volumes, particularly in the Permian Basin, and slightly higher NGL prices. This indicates a positive trend in the NGL market.

Lease operating expenses increased primarily due to higher operating costs driven by higher equipment and field services and higher production levels. This suggests potential areas for cost optimization.

Gathering, processing and transportation costs decreased $16 million primarily due to lower production in the Marcellus Shale and lower transportation and gathering rates in the Permian Basin. This indicates improved efficiency in these areas.

Depletion expense increased $52 million primarily due to a higher depletion rate and a slight increase in equivalent production. The higher depletion rate was primarily driven by lower oil and gas reserve volumes driven by negative price revisions as a result of lower prices in 2023.
