Preliminary production volumes are approximately 39,856 barrels of oil and 517,349 mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $65.02 per barrel of oil and $6.57 per mcf of gas.

Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25^th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date are posted within 30 days of receipt.
