Operations by Line of Business

QEP’s lines of business include natural gas and oil exploration and production (QEP Energy), midstream field services (QEP Field Services) and marketing and corporate (QEP Marketing & Resources). The lines of business are managed separately and therefore the financial information is presented separately due to the distinct differences in the nature of operations of each line of business, among other factors.

The following table is a summary of operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013, by line of business:
