“Revenues grew more than 150%, as anticipated, due to increased gathering and processing volumes from Quicksilver Resources and third-party producers,” said Toby Darden, Quicksilver Gas Services president and chief executive officer.  “Our continued focus on stringent cost control enabled us to fully realize the value from the higher throughput volumes resulting in an increase of more than 160% in net income.  As a result, our distributable cash flow increased to support an additional 11% increase in our quarterly distribution.”

Gathered volumes increased to 17,127 million cubic feet (MMcf) in the second quarter of 2008, up 159% from 6,613 MMcf in the prior-year quarter.  Processed volumes increased 137% to 14,593 MMcf in the second quarter of 2008 from 6,154 MMcf in the 2007 quarter.  Volumes from third parties made up 21% and 20% of the total gathered and processed volumes for the second quarter of 2008, respectively.  For the second quarter of 2008 the company realized an average of $.516 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) gathered and $.627 per Mcf processed.
