WTI oil price.
- Realized natural gas liquids price for the first quarter of

or approximately 44% of the average WTI oil price.

wells turned-to-sales after March 25, 2019.
Chief Executive Officer and President, David M.
Wood, commented, “Gulfport’s first quarter of 2019 production came
in as expected following a muted level of activity during the
fourth quarter of 2018 and we remain on track to deliver on our
previously announced 2019 production guidance of 1,360 MMcfe to
1,400 MMcfe per day. We began 2019 very active in both our core
basins, running on average approximately 3.4 horizontal drilling
rigs and 4.4 completion crews in total across our Utica Shale and
SCOOP assets during the first quarter of 2019. We forecast this
robust level of activity will lead to an active turn-in-line
schedule in the coming months as we expect to turn-to-sales in
excess of 30 wells during the second quarter of 2019, leading to
strong quarter over quarter production growth in both the second
quarter and third quarter of 2019.”
First Quarter 2019 Production and
Realized PricesGulfport’s net daily production for the
first quarter of 2019 averaged approximately 1,263.6 MMcfe per day.

of 2019 include an aggregate non-cash derivative gain of $4.8
million. Before the impact of derivatives, realized prices for the
first quarter of 2019, including transportation costs, were $2.70

gallon of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $3.00 per Mcfe.
