Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Mix: While crude oil revenues decreased 11% due to lower composite prices ($67.81/Bbl vs. $79.34/Bbl), natural gas revenues surged 84% to $1.94 billion due to a 49% price increase and higher volumes. NGL revenues increased 10%.
- Acquisition Impact: The Encino acquisition contributed $358 million in revenues and $100 million in net income for the period from August 1 to September 30, 2025.
- Cost Structure: Operating expenses decreased slightly year-over-year ($11.55 billion vs. $11.62 billion). However, General and Administrative expenses increased $116 million, largely due to $84 million in Encino acquisition-related costs. Impairments increased to $154 million from $115 million.
- Derivatives: Net gains on mark-to-market derivatives dropped significantly to $32 million from $269 million in the prior year, reflecting changes in commodity price curves and the impact of the Brent-linked gas sales contract.
